We are pretty new to gardening, we've only ever grown a couple potted tomatoes and a few herbs. This year though we decided to go big! Well bigger than a pot at least. We built a raised garden bed and planted sweet peppers, tomatoes, spinach & snow peas. Our snow peas really took off and today we harvested our 1st batch.

Josiah wasn't a big fan but Micah thought they were quite yummy. This wasn't too surprising though, Micah eats everything! During planting he found the seeds and the soil to be quite delicious. :)
