Raised Beds and Easter Eggs

A few weeks ago, Mimi and Pa came down for a visit that turned out to be more of a work-for-stay than a mini-vacation. We got to work right away on the main project for the weekend: raised beds. Tommy was a HUGE help with the digging, shoveling, mulching and everything else we asked him to do. After the raised beds were made, we planted some new shrubs in front of the house. Bye bye ugly dying boxwoods! After all the work, we decided to have some fun and dye easter eggs.

I haven't taken a picture of the finished beds yet because I still need to plant my tomatoes (that Tommy and I picked up at Cotton Plains this weekend - pictures coming soon). As soon as they're in, I'll put up a picture. So far, Tommy and I have planted cucumbers, lettuce, peppers, beans, zucchini, basil, thyme, parsley, and chives. Can't wait to eat right out of the garden this summer!

Thanks again, Mom and Dad for helping us get the beds made and the new shrubs planted!
