Gardening!

Shay loves the outdoors. Me- not so much. One of the things she's been working on is her gardening. About a month ago, she planted with her Grammy.

Boxes ready.

Shay's box.

Grammy's Box

4x4 and 3x3 square foot gardening boxes.

They decided that square foot gardening was the way to go. I don't know all that much about it, but you can check out this link that will tell you more: http://www.squarefootgardening.org/. The white around the boxes is not snow. We found a use for all those credit card applications we get by shredding them and using them to keep the grass and weeds from growing up in the boxes. We already had Grammy's box from last year, so we only had to build one box for Shay.

The next day, after a trip to Johnson's to get plants, they got to work planting.

Look- she's in Jeans!

Digging.

Planting.

Both boxes planted.

Planted this year are: cherry tomatoes, bush beans, zucchini, squash, onions, garlic, watermelon, peppers, marigolds, and potatoes.
