How does your garden grow?

Gary and I have always enjoyed planting a few vegetables each spring, and we had pretty good success in Columbia. We were less successful here in Texas until our friend Steve helped us out. He is quite the gardening guru, and he helped Gary build a nice sized garden, despite our tiny backyard. We have planted lettuce, spinach, carrots, onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, and peppers, and the lettuce and carrots have already started to come up. Last weekend Luke helped Gary plant the tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers, and they both had a good time. Gary built this trellis. Eventually there will be cucumbers growing up it.

Luke loves to scoop dirt, so this was a perfect job for him!
