Home Depot + 4 Women =

TROUBLE!!
One of my friends is sold on a gardening method called squarefoot gardening... so a few girls from the ward got together to build our garden boxes for the year. If I write nothing else about our garden... that means I failed miserably at this fool-proof method. But here's how it got started...


Shanna & I trying to figure out the measurements of wood, etc. we need... and Jenn writing it all down to ensure we're doing our math right :)Zack having his own party in the cartMelissa and Shanna using power tools... and having way too much fun!
One of the finished boxes waiting for seeds, sunshine and a little TLC... unfortunately my belly is nowhere near finished... Arghh!

I stopped by to see how the pics turned out - too cute! Hopefully we will be seeing many more gardening posts. If you can grow a baby, you can grow a tomato...isn't funny, though, that the tomato does take a little more effort than the baby???

You are going to fall in love with squarefoot gardening. My girls love doing the planting and watering, and there is NO weed pulling!
