Last Sunday, I decided it was time to plant the vegetable garden. Adam had completed the drainage system (which, by the way, works great. Yay!) and it was a nice, cool day that we didn't have anywhere to be. Spencer and I managed to get last year's bed cleaned out and we mixed in our compost. I got THE WORST blister from hand tilling the compost in, even with gloves, ouch! Adam made us a new 4 X 8 raised bed on the side of the house and we decided to put broccoli and a few types of onions in there.
In our "main" garden we had three pepper plants from last season which I had planned on taking out. However, I just couldn't do it because they were blooming up all over the place! I decided to let them fruit once and then put in the replacements. Two tomato plants from our garden last year seeded new plants and I replanted them on the tomato side of the garden and added four more to make six total.
By this time, Elliott had awoken from his "quiet time" and came down to join us. It was time to plant the seeds for lettuce, spinach, radishes, carrots and peas. Elliott wanted to get his own radish seeds and ended up spilling them everywhere. We tried to pick them up as best as we could, but as you will see in the photos, didn't get them all. We planted two to three rows of each of the veggies and called it a day.
It has been a week since we've planted, we've gotten a lot of rain this week so we've gotten to see our handiwork sprouting up already. I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story, enjoy!

I will have to look up what kind of bulb I
planted, but it's coming up! |

Little lettuce and radish sprouts (notice the "extra" radishes
in the upper left hand corner from when Elliott spilled the seeds) |

A look at the garden from the tomato side. You can see the two
bigger plants are the ones that seeded from last year. |

 |
| Hmmm, looks like someone's been in this garden... |
 |
| Who could that have been? |
 |
| Some onions sprouting up |
 |
| Pretty garden! |
 |
These little "wormy" things are SO annoying!!! But at least
all the yellow pollen is gone from them. I will clean these up another day. |

One week later. Hands down THE WORST blister I have ever had.
It was SO gross and hurt SO bad! |
