Our first garden

We now have a garden!...I don't know that I should have the title "Farmer Iris" but I sure am getting pretty close :)

When Briggs and I went to visit my parents in Florida...Justin was working hard on my birthday present (this was the only thing I asked for).  He of course isn't in the mindset of "blogging"...hints no pictures of the planter box process...but here is the picture he sent me at 11:00 one night of his finished product.


And here is what I have done to it since I've been home.  We have all kinds of veggies that will hopefully grow into big yummy FREE, HEALTHY food for us this summer.  Some of our crop includes tomatoes, onions, squash, zucchini, green beans, lettuce, green peppers, cucumbers, and lots of herbs sprinkled all over (basil, chives, parsley, rosemary, thyme, dill, fennel).


And here is the action shot of me harvesting our first onion.


CHECK IT OUT...homegrown in our own backyard.  I was super pumped.  There are more where that came from.  We used it in our green beans that night and can't wait to use more in the future.


 I have more posts to come on the progress we have made and more details on the garden but wanted to put this teaser out there of how it all got started :)
