Expanded garden!

Our wonderful Swiss neighbor and friend, Jonny, helped Paul put together the garden frame! We could not have done it without him!

A work in progress!

Love our local rental place where we got the roto-tiller. :-)

It was a bit chilly the day we tilled up the yard. Here are Paul and Jonny teaming up to cut deep into the soil for the garden bed!

Jonny examining the finished product! Now for soil, then the deer and critter fence must go up!


Gardening! I watched my father spend hours in the garden as we were growing up, bringing in fresh veggies every evening for dinner and thought, "Someday, I want to have a garden too!"

I've had one the past three years here in KC. It started out as a 10'x18' plot the first year, grew another 9' the second year, and finally, this year, it is a whopping 27 x 20' garden plot. Paul and I are so excited to grow, grow, grow this year! Our dirt will be delivered today, and planting will start very soon as we need to get cold crops in the ground!

With food prices increasing almost weekly, it's nice to know that we will be saving lots of money and eating nutritious food!
