Building the Raised Flower Bed

We got our raised flower bed built this past weekend!!! Without the help of Stan & Kristen, we would never have been able to do this!! The plan it to have this bed be a learning tool for Caleb. We've already planted some squash, cucumber and bush beans in the garden. (I'll take some more photos later) and Caleb had a hand in holding the nails and was diligently giving them out one by one.

We found this great place to get 'cheap' compost mixed dirt and now that we know a truckload costs about $20, I have many more projects in mind (not so sure if Jay knows this yet or not ;) )...

Caleb also helped me put some seed down in our existing bed....we've just dropped the seeds down for some forget-me-nots, marigolds, poppies and some sunflowers....hopefully we won't have another cold spell. If so, we'll just have to put even more seeds down. The lawn is just coming out of dormancy. We'll just have to pray for rain this summer season.
