Front Yard Garden

We have been working on starting a vegetable / fruit garden since probably... June. So that's about 4 months! First I had to find and collect about 20 pallets. Took them apart (12 hours) then build the planter boxes (3 hours) and then find free dirt. Tommy unloaded all the dirt into the boxes (4 hours). So now we are just about ready to plant. Yesterday we went to the store and bought manure and seeds. Kennedy was most excited about picking out the seeds. On our way there she said she wanted to buy banana seeds. I explained that bananas grow on trees so we probably won't be finding any seeds. Once we were next to the seeds she yells, "mom! I found bananas!" She brought me a pack of seeds for yellow squash. It was so cute! I explained to her what they were. She didn't seem to mind and went on her way searching for other types of seeds. She LOVED picking out the seeds. While Kennedy and I were excitedly looking through the seeds Oliver and Tommy patiently waited. Kennedy was not thrilled with the idea of us buying "cow poop" and Oliver loves to say "cow poop!" It was a great day!
