Gardening at our new home

We are moving in a few weeks to a house about 6 blocks from where we live now. The backyard is very promising for a good vegetable garden. But it is getting late in the season here, so today Charis and I went over to the house to clean up a couple of beds and maybe plant a few tomatoes and peas.

It is going to be a bit of work to weed and clean up the back yard but it will be really great when I am finished. I started by weeding and Charis removed some leaves and dug holes.
Charis ate lunch on our soon to be porch, while I continued weeding.
We had fun running around, exploring the garden, finding bugs and playing in the empty garden shed.
Then we planted the peas.
And finally we planted the tomato plants.

This is SO wonderful! I love that you have a yard and garden to enjoy. I can tell Charis is going to be a natural at gardening.

Your new house looks so cute! You're going to do so many great things to that yard! I can't wait to see the progress you make. :) I hope to build garden beds in our backyard...someday. For now, I just have to admire the blackberry bushes. ;)
