It's a start

A week ago I started my indoor seeds and yesterday my neighbor Nate built my garden box!

Tomorrow I plan to plant spinach, salad bowl lettuce and endive in this 4x5 foot box. This morning I noted that my indoor seedlings sprouted over night. I cannot tell you how much this excites me!
In 2 weeks my Mom and I are going to turn over soil in her yard and plant The Family Garden. I purchased the seeds weeks ago and it's been terribly hard to wait.

The Plan:
Oregano
Basil
Rosemary
Cantelope
Eggplant
Green Peppers
Red Peppers
Summer Squash
Zucchini
Yellow beans (lots and lots)
Sugar Snap Peas
Spanish Onion
Carrots
Cucumber
Corn

AAAAAHHHHHH I love it. Beautiful garden box! Cantaloupe? REALLY?

We have our herbs in pots...in the event they start to perish in the ridiculous heat. That way I can bring them indoors and revive them. The boxes look awesome.

We are hoping to utilize some pots for herbs and vegetables - we've too many trees (read:shade) to build the boxes although I REALLY wanted some of those in my backyard. Impressive.
