Alex & Lucy at the Rec

On Saturday, I took Alex and Lucy to the Golden Rec Center for a bit of swimming and fun. In light of the overcast weather it was the perfect afternoon activity for these two girls.

Square Foot Gardening 2010

Alex and I have embarked into the world of gardening with reckless abandon these days. We decided to start growing some of our own food and flowers and in light of our limited amount of space, Square Foot Gardening (http://www.squarefootgardening.com/) proved the most effective method to accomplish our goals.

We opted to build 3 boxes. The first and larger of the two are 4 x 2 feet while the 3rd and smaller comprises a 2 x2 foot space. After building and painting the boxes which appear below we followed the SQFG instructions by combining a mix of Peat Moss, Vermiculite, and Compost to fill the boxes (check out the video). We are now ready for Spring and will plant our seedlings just after Mother's Day. Enjoy!
