The Garden!

So my mom went all out on the garden this year. It's quite a fancy thing and I'm pretty proud of it! I'm excited to be the garden waterer because I get to watch everything grow :)

She had some pesky rabbits get in the garden last year and eat everything, so this year she had some raised beds built and a new rabbit-proof fence put in!

Here it is in progress...




Our lake house is in a community right on the water and there isn't much room in the yard for a garden plus it's pretty rocky along the shore. Therefore, the community picked one spot where everyone could plant a large garden and share water, etc. They couldn't have picked a prettier spot. It's so peaceful out there!

Can you tell those are garden plots at the end of the road?



You look out over this huge field with mountains in the distance.



Here is the finished product...



The raised beds are full now...



There are lots of things growing (don't mind the little weeds - I haven't had time to pull them all out)!

Tomatoes



Squash



Chives



Basil


Beans





Sunflowers



And much more that I didn't capture with the camera.

My grandparents also have a garden that I water...I figure they might share with me too :)

  1. I love your blog. It keeps me in touch with Vermont. I can't wait to get up there and see everything in July. It has not been as hot here. Dad
