Garden!!

We finally got a weekend of sunshine and warm temperatures here in the Northwest! I may be a bit biased, but I honestly don't think there is anywhere more beautiful than the NW in the Spring and Summertime. Yesterday Brad and I went to the local Farmers Market that takes place in Vancouver every Saturday morning. With all the great prices on vegetables and plants, we go the itch to buy some plants and build a garden in our backyard. So, we bought some strawberry and asparagus plants, many bags of our other main component...





...and got to work!!!


Really I did help... :) Someone had to document the moment while we worked. :)


Asparagus roots... MMMMM....asparagus!! :)





The finished product! Isn't it beautiful? We just planted the asparagus and strawberries, but bell peppers, squash, peas, blueberries, and spinach are to come. We might have to build more gardens. :)


A job well done!! Our next door neighbor kid came over to see what we were up to, so we got him to take a photo with both of us and our finished product.

Well, like they say....you can take the girl outta the country, but you can't take the country outta the girl. :) Our dad's would be proud. :)

That is so awesome that you are "farming." :) You'll have to blog about all of the bounty from your garden. Way to go!

Good work. Nothing is better for you than diggin' in the dirt, I'm convinced. Plus, veggies out of the garden are good for your grocery budget. Looks good.
