Garden Before and After

Now that we have a yard it is time to start putting it to use. I used some planter boxes for adding better soil and planted some green beans, yellow beans and sugar snap peas. This gives us something other than dirt and fence to look at out our side window.

Here is the beautiful grass lined by a flowerbed full of weeds. This is the before picture.

Here is the after picture. We transplanted the day lilies. You can see the weeds have regrown, never ending I tell ya! The day lilies are not my favorite but will do until we have money/time to put something else in.

Here is the before from where the day lilies were originally.

Here is the after, Andy built a planter box and we added better soil and planted zucchini plants, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers and strawberries. While trying to dig the holes for the posts Andy discovered how rocky the soil here really is. We were singing "The wise man built his house upon a rock".

After a few weeks we got our first zucchini. I like the green but do not like the yellow. Any volunteers to take the yellow ones? Hopefully lots more homegrown food to come :)
