Our new garden

This is a picture of what our garden looks like right now.  My dad decided that he wanted to have a garden this year because he hasn’t had one for a long time.   After my mom gave him permission he got all excited and began to make plans.  He did not tell her however that it would be taking up most of our backyard…  We got the land tilled, spread some fertilizer, and then placed a large black tarp over the ground to help prevent weeds from coming up.  As I carried brick after brick from the pile behind our shed, I began to really think.   First of all, it should be known that my dad is an extremely picky eater.  The only thing he will eat that is green are M&Ms.  He doesn’t eat onions, or tomatoes, or carrots.  What are we planting this garden for?  However, we got everything set up and began to plant things.  We have a few rows of corn planted, some tomatoes, onions, lettuce and broccoli.  We are going to be planting more corn and some peas before everything is done.  There is also a possibility of growing cucumbers so my mom can make pickles.
