There's still threat of frost here so we were only able to build the raised flower bed, fill it with dirt, and plant a couple of early season items. We planted garlic, broccoli, and butter leaf lettuce! We'll be able to plant the rest of our veggies mid-May.
We started our day at Home Depot to get the lumber and the soil. (We got all of the green bags for one cent each!!! It wasn't entered into the computer properly and it saved us like $60!! -the cashier checked on it so we weren't trying to pull a sly one or anything) We deduced that Jesus must have wanted us to have a garden!

We mixed the two, filled it in, and planted our veggies!
