Garden Developments

Yesterday we filled in one of our new raised beds. We were supposed to fill both of them, but it took longer than expected! Thanks to Nathan's parents for the help, equipment and babysitting that allowed us to do it! Here are some pictures of the latest activity in our garden.



This is the new garden, filled with dirt and ready to be planted. Excuse the washing!







These are herbs that I planted. Not a very good picture, but there are lots of herbs including mint, thyme, italian parsley, dill, oregano, sage, lemon balm, coriander and some celery also as well as several transplanted rhubarb plants:



Our strawberries are flowering! My mouth is watering at the thought of the fresh strawberries that they will turn into!



This is our first crop of salad leaves. I love how having a vegetable garden makes kids excited about eating them! Two days in a row Mia wanted to go out and pick leaves (We had to modify it to her holding bowl and Mummy picking because she pulled out a couple of plants!), and then make her own cheese and salad sandwich which she ate all up!

I am really enjoying getting my hands into the dirt!
