To everything there is a season... Turn, Turn, Turn

Here it is... the completed garden plan: 27'x18'.

I want to set up a little vegetable stand and a sign with an honor box. All of the money will go towards the adoption fees. As we are hoping to have a Fresh-Air child come to stay with us this summer, the garden may end up being a great activity to share. I don't know; I'm still kind of intimidated by the amount of work involved. The garden is designed with a split rail fence and I'll surround it with wire fencing to keep out rabbits. We've already purchased the seeds, so I'll have to start growing the seedlings that need to be transplanted, preferably this week or next week.

Here's our current timeline :)
