barefoot.

Barefoot Gardening. I love the Earth between my toes.

 Our garden is nearly complete!

 We planted Tomato's, Cucumber, Squash, Zucchini, Asparagus, Corn, & Peppers in our Veggie Bed.

Raspberries, Blueberries, Blackberries, Watermelon & OF COURSE, Strawberries in our Fruity Bed.

Parsley, Catnip, Rosemary, Mint, Sunflowers, Chives & LOTS of Basil! in our Herb Bed. 

Everything we planted was either Idaho Agriculture Certified "Organic" or from a Seed! Let's hope that our VERY FIRST GARDEN is a successful learning process & provides lots of healthy fresh summer goodies!

Here are a few pictures of our progress!

We still need to build a few set ups for our fruits, transplant our INSANELY out of control Mint into a pot in the ground, so it stays in a specific area. We need to gravel the "T" walkway and we've also decided to place random stones throughout the grass on the outsides. It sounds like a lot of work, but really- it isn't that bad AT ALL! 

Don't you LOVE my lizard in the top left picture! He is there to scare away...annoying pests? Sure...And of course there is the picket fence I mentioned in a previous post! Aaron worked his paws off building it for me c: Maybe I'll paint it white?

Oh and we planted two Clematis' on the back fence where the cross wood is! One is lavender colored and the other is a very deep purple.

I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS TO TAKE OVER OUR FENCE!

We've been doing lots and lots to make our house a home! Expect more soon!

p.s.

These two books saved our lives.

Sunset Western Gardening Book of Edibles.

Sunset Western Garden Book.

Even though we both grew up with gardens it helps to have a little reading material.

& an extra special thanks to my parents and aaron's as well.

Happy Gardening!
