Garden!

It's a box, with dirt in it! We call it Box of Dirt. So we've been talking about making a garden for awhile. Our dilemma was that we live in an apartment where no garden plot exists. Then along came this little thing called the "On the Spot Award" that Aaron received at work for being amazing. The prize for winning this award was a $50 gift certificate to Home Depot (Texas' Do-it-Yourself Hardware Store, as the sign says).

Well, Home Depot doesn't sell any descent sized planter boxes, so we decided to make our own! So now we have a six by one foot box full of dirt. In this dirt we very meticulously sowed carrots and green beans and left a space for a tomato plant. The plan is that since we completed the first planter box successfully that we will build a second one, in which we will plant onions and cucumbers.

Neither of us have ever planted anything that grew before (except for maybe something in Biology), so we are hoping this experiment succeeds. We will be keeping a log of garden events (should be as exciting as watching the grass grow). Please check back in 7-14 days to see if any green things have appeared.
