The Seedling of an Idea

James and I have been talking about growing veggies in the backyard since last spring. We were hoping it would show the girls how veggies grow, and hopefully encourage them to eat more! We were a little worried about the commitment level, and so procrastinated all last summer away. We did manage to grow some wonderful fat orange pumpkins and giant sunflower plants last fall, and seeing how excited the girls were, we decided to take the plunge this year and officially make a raised veggie box.

First, we needed to do some research.  After watching the Little Einstein's Episode of Farmer Annie, we learned that all it took to grow plants was dirt, rain, sun and lots of love. We were all set to get started!
