I've been itching to start growing things. We have been debating about doing the square foot gardening thing, but when we saw some easy to set up raised gardens at Costco, Voila! Kyle and I put it together today.
Tonight after dinner we mixed the different stuff together for the soil. My kids were absolutely stunned to learn we were putting horse manure in our garden. "Why did you buy those nice boxes at Costco just to put horse poop in them?" my daughter asked. The two ran around for an hour talking about horse poop. They were even more shocked to see Dad actually touching the stuff as we mixed it with the peat moss, vermaculite, and other compost. WITH HIS BARE HANDS! Kyle finally couldn't resist and got out his Handy Manny gloves and joined us in mixing the compost. It was great. Very bonding.
Until he started shoveling the compost out of the boxes into the grass.
This is going to be great! I'm so excited. And thankful for a great hubby who will come home from a long day at work to work some more, up to his elbows in poop no less. And then to do taxes at night. Bless him!

Funny! What did you plant? Did you get your playground equipment?
that is awesome! Where did you get the horse poop? We just use plain old compost - not nearly as exciting! :)
