The Vegetables of our Labors

In the middle of May, Justin and I decided it would be fun to have a garden! There is a perfect little patch of dirt right in front of our house, so nothing was stopping us. We went to Lowe's, bought some Peppers, Carrots, Peas and Squash, and planted them one day. And we named our garden Dezra (it's what you do when you don't have kids). 

Well, a few weeks later we started seeing sprouts! I went a little crazy with excitement and couldn't believe how easy everything was. #selfsustaining.

The first sign of life!

The evolution of peas.

Even though we stopped "gardening" in August - The squash are still coming! There have been some nice rain storms that helped them grow - sp we haven't had to do a thing! We pulled up our pea plants a while ago, but they lived a fulfilling life - definitely more than 2 peas in our pods. The carrots struggled,  they couldn't grow bigger than my pinky. And the peppers? Well they never sprouted.

I'd say that's over 50% success. 

 All in all, we loved our garden, and it loved us back.

This is what frolicking looks like

We had so much fun growing our garden over the summer and I can't wait for the day when we have a big backyard to plant all of our favorite veggies and decorate with blooming flowers and a cute little fence. #greenthumbs
