shortly after Dylan was born, Chad had the idea of putting a vegetable garden in our backyard. he thought it would be really fun to grow our own veggies and to be able to teach Dylan how the foods we eat are produced. so finally last year he got to work. we lucked out on the goods. even though we were sad to see our friends Levi and Alma move out of Long Beach and back to Arizona, we scored on their garden leftovers. they gave us almost everything we needed. they provided us with wood, soil, veggies, even a compost barrel. here are some photos of the before and after. when i get new pictures uploaded from my camera i will show you what the garden looks like today. it's grown a lot!
