First Gardening Attempt

Here is a look at the garden that we put in on the east side of the house. We weren't sure if the retaining walls would get done this year after all of the snow and the wet spring. But, here they are. Thanks to mom for some help with the digging and Doug for putting in the sprinklers to water it. It was planted a week ago, mostly plants, but some seeds. The plants we put in are: tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers (4 different kinds), zucchini, squash, peas, carrots, and strawberries. The lettuce seeds have already sprouted and the beans are also beginning to put down roots.

In the foreground is the new grass that we planted a little over a month ago. It continues to fill in and green up too. We'll post a picture later in the summer to give a view of the garden once everything has (hopefully) grown like crazy.
