The Little Garden Helper

This is now the second year in a row that we have planted a garden in our back yard. While we are still lightyears from becoming true gardening professionals, Jay and I are very happy with our accomplishments! We choose this year's crop with Jack in mind. So far, he is such a great little eater and really enjoys his fruits and veggies (with the exception of peas!) We are still making most of his baby food so it will be so nice to have our own garden!

This year we planted tomatoes, yellow peppers, jalapeno peppers, sweet peppers, zucchini, butternut squash, beets, and blueberries. We also have a fresh herb garden that includes chives, peppermint, sweet basil, and oregano.

It was a couple of weekends of really hard work to get the garden in as well as all of the annual flowers, but we are happy that is in finally done (for the most part anyway!). In only a few more weeks the flowers will be in full bloom and the yard will look so pretty! Just in time for outdoor patio/BBQ season!

Here are some pics of Jack helping in the garden. As you can see, the little guy has quite the green thumb!!!!
