Finally Got Something Planted

I was finally able to go get our seed potatoes and I had time to plant them this evening. I have been wanting to for the past couple of weeks, but the weather has been horrible and I have had a sick kid. Not that the weather was fantasic today, it was just good enough that I could be outside with Logan and get things planted. I only planted my potatoes and peas. He loved helping and helped me with the water. In fact I had to do the planting by myself while he played in the water.

When I told him we had to go inside and he moved for the first time since he soaked himself and he started whining. He realized that he was wet and cold. I thought it was funny and just laughed, like I usually do at his misery. But I love how he wont listen and has to learn lessons the hard way.

My potatoes two rows of reds and I of whites.

I cant wait for the harvest.

This is where I got the idea for my garden this year. I didnt quite do it like this, I just got my idea from this picture. I made eight squares and did walkways in between all the squares. I put my grass clippings on the walkways to hopefully keep the weeds down. Each square will have something in them and a few will have a couple different veggies in them. Now I have to figure out my watering system. I am going to use PVC pipe and valves. Not quite sure whats a head of me but I am excited to be inventive and make something that will make watering easier. I JUST LOVE GARDENING !!!!!

This is my version of the above garden layout.
