Well, the garden is coming along quite nicely! We've spent the last couple of weekends working on it, and have made some really good progress.
Here's a friendly tip; at the Placer County dump a truckload of composted soil is only fifteen dollars, and they even load it all up for you! My Dad and I were able to fill all three beds with three truckloads of soil, which was a great deal.
Last week, Melissa and the kids even got some plants put in. The garden is creating quite the buzz with the neighbors, whenever we're working on it we have people interested in what exactly we're doing.
I think this is having a good impact on the kids as well. They are very eager to help whenever we are working outside, and hopefully they will feel a sense of satisfaction as we begin to get veggies and eat them.
By the way, any suggestions on how to keep cats out of the garden? One in particular seems to be excited about his new litter box...
It's looking good!
ReplyDeleteIt's not very kid friendly but a friend of ours put down strips of carpet tack in their flower bed to keep the cats out.
