Micah helps me tame our runaway roses

Everyone helped make the raised beds. The kids helped me screw together the wood. I used cedar to avoid rot and insects. Jenny helped staple weed fabric onto the bottom.

Time to put in the compost and topsoil!

But there's also plenty of time for playing

I put together a roped structure for beans to grow on.

Everything is planted

Some of the squashes

The carrot yield!

Jenny is harvesting and chopping up basil for pesto

We didn't end up with a ton of meals, but we learned a lot for next year!
