We've been experiencing some Spring like weather here in my part of Texas.  I've introduced gardening to the boys and Tucker seems to like it.  Carsen likes to play in the dirt but did participate in helping start some vegetable seeds.

Tucker had seen one too many time lapsed shows of plants growing and totally expected our seeds to start growing before his eyes.  Cute.  He's been patient and it's paying off.  He's so excited to see our seeds sprouting.

 
Here are some bush bean seedlings poking their little heads out.  It's so exciting to see the miraculous growth every day now that they've reached this stage.
 

 
Here's the bush beans again and the second picture is the cucumbers, lots of cucumbers or squash.  The pole beans are taking a bit longer to sprout but they're finally coming alive.

All these wonderful seeds are going in a communal garden Todd and I will be building in our neighbor's back yard.  Bill and Debbie will be helping and we'll each share in watering the garden, taking care of it and harvesting.

Their yard has much more sunlight and much more space.  It's great that they don't use the back yard except for grilling so they are just as excited to see this project get under way as we are.

Since Todd and I enjoy creating garden spaces we're not just going to throw garden beds together.  We'll incorporate seating and spots for flowers.  BIG plans ahead but being a SAHM I have plenty of time to get this started.

We've already cut out a spot in our shared fence for a gate and I've dug 6 holes for posts in our first garden bed.  That post hole digger is HEAVY!  6 more to go and two beds will be ready to install.

Here are some views of our yard that I took today.  Enjoy!
