Oh my gosh, Liam and Patrick LOVE working outside. They seriously work all day outside some days. They especially love helping their Papa. Patrick more so. He just follows him around and helps him with anything. Matt will say what he wants to do and Patrick repeats it verbatim. It is so cute.
We have spent about 1 1/2 months doing spring cleanup and preparing new garden beds. I am so happy with the way it has all turned out and can't wait until things start really growing! At this point, we do a lot of watering and weeding. I have wanted a garden for while now but we have moved around so much, it was never worth the effort. We did start a vegetable garden in Tacoma only to find out after everything was planted that the soil was contaminated with arsenic.
This year we are growing potatoes, beets, carrots, onions, lettuces, leafy greens, green beans, peas, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, watermelon, cantaloupe, raspberries, strawberries, winter squash, and lots of basil and cilantro. One day, I hope to grow a lot of our own food. We do have great organic farms here, though, which is so wonderful. Awesome farmer's market on Saturdays.
