Hard work at the Marchand house this weekend. Phil dug up a portion of the sprinkler system...
And the men went over the plans to extend the sprinklers...
Until voila! The soil was in, the sprinklers were laid, and the plants and seeds are ready to be put into the earth.
It's a foreign but amazing concept -- winter vegetable gardening! We are planting herbs, lettuce, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, Swiss chard, radishes, snap peas and onions.
I am so excited by the concept of making meals for our family with vegetables we grow from our own garden. The kids will actually see their food grow -- and help it grow (oh yes, they will be working in the garden! I can hear the whining already). What a way to learn the value of getting your hands dirty.
Tomorrow we plant!
* Shout out to Living Green Garden Center on Jeronimo -- they were incredibly helpful and informative.
