The garden is growing

We got a bit of a late start this year, but we did manage to squeeze in a few veggies to our little plot. The kids have gotten so into growing veggies they are willing to give up their "playground" to turn it into a bigger garden next year. (We'll see how long this lasts, I'll keep you posted.) Anyhoo, they had a blast picking out the seed packets and mixing in the soil amendment and planting the seeds with Nana. I didn't take any pictures of that part, since there really wasn't much to look at, but here are pictures of how they are doing now. We planted "easter egg" radishes, carrots, beets, lettuce, green beans, corn, onions, tomatoes, peppers, and herbs. Meagan loves to pick the tomatoes, and Tony races out each morning to make sure the corn is still taller than he is. He can't wait for it to reach the eaves.
