First Carrot!

Tonight I just couldn't resist pulling up a carrot to check...the tops were getting so tall, they were about 9 inches...

the carrots are still babies, so we'll wait to pull up more- the miracle of seeds growing in dirt is amazing every time!

Everything is planted...

Here is an update on our Garden/Yard...here is the view from the back patio looking to the left.
See the grand trellis? :)

We have 2 different varieties growing, one on each side...

In front of the trellis we have planted rows of Sweet corn (2 varieties) and green beans, with hopes that the beans will climb their way up the corn...we've done this successfully in the past.

In the upper left corner of this pic, we have Caleb's watermelon patch started...and in the middle are some of our "walking onions"
The big kids looking for new watermelon growth...we have some!
