This past Saturday, Josh and I finished up our pinterest project. A lot of the time my grand ideas involve Josh doing the manual labor and me doing the fun, pretty, easy parts. I have an awesome husband! Who also curses the day pinterest hit the world wide web! Just kidding. As soon as I showed him my idea of a cinder block garden he was game. Now we have friends that have wonderfully ginoramus gardens that produce amazing produce, however we don’t have the time nor the energy to be plucking, picking, weeding and hoeing a large garden. We do have time for this simple and cute cinder block garden. Of course I thought we could do this in one weekend, but hell if that ever happens. So this pinterest project ended up being spread over several busy weekends. Finally this past Saturday we completed our cinder block garden with planting veggies, flowers, and strawberries. Now we must water and watch them grow (hopefully). Cause if it doesn’t we just destroyed part of our back yard, wasted money, and now have a mud pit for Easton to play in.

| Easton did a lot of this.. snacking and watching Daddy work. Hmmm... she may or may not have learned that from her Momma! |
 |
| But she did occasionally put her gardening tools to use. |
 |
| Daddy bought her some gloves like Momma's so she could help plant flowers and strawberries. |

| Lunch break on the jungle gym |

| "No, that dirtie" |

| Our little helper |

| Our busy bee right in the action |
 |
| Finished garden |
 |
| So in the holes of the cinder blocks I planted strawberries and marigolds (they keep bugs away) |
And that is our first garden. What we plant? Vidalia Onions, Cherry Tomatoes, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Squash, Yellow and Orange Peppers, Jalapeno Peppers, Sweet Banana Peppers, Basil, Cilantro, and Strawberries.
