Our Yard of Weeds!!

We have moved to our new home in Spanish Fork and are really enjoying it here. We get to be in charge of our own yard. Out here you get charged a flat water fee for irrigation water during the spring and summer months. Most people have sprinkler systems. We need one too and some grass. Our home sat here empty for so long that there are weeds as far as the eye can see.

So I decided it would feel great to at least hoe up a portion of those wees and plant a garden. So Eric build a raised garden for me and our kind neighbors picked up a truckload of nice dirt so I could get started. The dirt is so rich it's called black gold. I am excited to see the results. We had some little labels for each row we planted but they blew away in the wind. Spanish Fork gets very gusty winds from time to time. We are planting strawberries, tomatoes, peppers, onions, beets, corn, squash, pumpkins, beans, cucumbers and zuccinni. If any of you have any advice on how to garden, feel free to let me know.

We still have weeds and it's been raining again. Hopefully we can pull them up tomorrow (it's supposed to rain again) while the ground is still a little wet and it's easier. We'll just put bags over our shoes and get out in the dirt and mud.
