Starting a Garden

Greg and I have decided to start a vegetable garden this year. In the past two years I have done container vegetables - cherry tomatoes, slicer tomatoes and bell peppers. I attempted squash and zucchini last year, but had some trouble with the plant getting dry rot. Greg bought a book specifically about growing vegetables in Kentucky. We have made our list of what we are going to grow.
Vegetables:
tomatoes
grape tomatoes
bell peppers
banana peppers
green onions
lettuce
cucumbers
zucchini
potatoes
squash
pole beans
We are also considering pumpkins and corn.
I know - we are ambitious! But Greg used to help his mom when she would grow vegetables. Blake and Noah are SUPER excited about this venture. As you can see in the picture below, they were anxious to help Greg on Saturday when he began digging the plot for the garden. Noah said he was "helping Daddy turn over the ground".

I think this will be a summer long science lesson! The best part is, we get to eat the benefits from our work! I hope to continue to post pictures as we make more progress.
