Green Thumbs

We couldn't be happier with the new home, however the backyard is a barren wasteland. At best it is a blank canvas. So, as HGTV might say, we've started the "reno of the outdoor living space". Phase one: Raised garden beds and a beginning compost pile! I wanted this project at the top of the list in hopes of having some sort of fall garden. Philip has the green thumb in our family and so far has planted bell peppers, tomatoes, and lots of basil. For those who don't know, our weird little girls eat basil by the handfuls so we had to keep them well supplied : ) Maybe this week we'll get some mixed greens and spinach going!
