Gar-yen

Although technically this isn't our first year together that we've planted a garden, it is the first one that we've stuck with and taken care of. We are pretty proud of ourselves too considering this spot of earth in our landlords backyard was just a pile of weeds and trash in May. Thanks to (Cody's) Dad's rototiller we got it ready to plant and stuff actually grew. Mariah loves working in the "gar-yen" and so far we have enjoyed enormous zucchini, cucumbers, daily fresh basil, peppers, and tomatoes. Here is what it looked like last week:

Oh wow, you planted a lot. It looks great and sounds delicious. Mariah also looks so adorable in her white summer dress and her cute red hair is getting so long and pretty.
