Garden

A few weekends ago we did a LOT (and by we, I mean chad!) of yardwork.  Over 1 weekend, we (again, we meaning Chad!) moved 3 tons of material. 

First, 1 ton of sand for the sandbox.  The kids love the sandbox!  Lilly found that she loved worms.  She kept playing with them while Chad was putting the sand in.

Second, 1 ton of potting soil.  Chad was nice enough to build me and the kids a garden box!  It is about 3'x6' and 1' tall.  Some of the potting soil went into the garden box, and the rest went around the foundation of the house just because.  I don't know if you know this or not, but a ton of soil and sand is a LOT of sand and soil.

Third, 1 ton of mulch.  Chad moved rose bushes, pulled weeds and replaced the mulch in the front.  Surprisingly, 1 ton of mulch isn't really that much.  We didn't have any left over!

In our garden, we bought tomatoe, jalepeno, bell pepper and strawberry plants.  We also planted carrot seeds, cucumber seeds, and green bean seeds.  So far everything has sprouted!  We will see what happens!  The kids are so excited to have the plants grow!
