Extreme Makeover: Landscape Edition

Since I left to Florida, my little sister, Talyn has been taking care of our house... She has done an AMAZING JOB!! She has gone above and beyond the call of duty. I can't tell you in words how crazy the transformation has been so let me show you! Click here to see the before and after pictures of our landscaping....

My family has been talking about having a 'family garden' for awhile now. We had the perfect spot in our backyard so we finally got down to business and put it in! My family (parents, Talyn, Grandma, Aunts, etc.) came over the day after I got home and put the planter boxes together, and my brother in law and Dad brought the dirt. My mom and sister planted the seeds and I watched :) Yeah, yeah, I'm not much help and I know it. I want to take pictures every week and show the progress because it has been so fun to see how big everything is getting. We planted beans, lettuce, tomatoes, radishes, basil, green onions, cucumbers, zuchini, squash, peas, carrots, and bell peppers. I think I got all of them but I may have forgotten some. (We didn't shove all of it in these 3 beds. There are lots around the rest of my yard, but here is the bulk of it.)
