A Raised Bed

Amara loves to spend time with her Papa in the yard. Havana too but big sis is more able to help out in a more focused way. Amara will plant a seed  in the soil whereas as Baby Girl will just throw the seed on the ground! Here they are about a month ago getting the raised bed ready.

Contemplating what next?

Hands in the soil make it richer!

And a little jig helps too!

Havana's way of helping? Watching from afar!

Almost ready. Don bought 1,600  pounds of soil for the garden.

And here we are a month or so later.

In an ideal world, we would have several raised beds in our yard. But the reality is we have a 2 1/2 year old and 4 1/2 year old, both whom are beyond active and energetic! So getting longer blocks of time to work is quite a task in and of itself. Don patiently (and not so patiently) had to work in small increments to get this one bed up. So we are quite excited for our one raised bed! Maybe next year we can do another!
