Garden Project

One project we've worked on since our move to Fayetteville has been our garden.  Corey has been talking about building a raised garden for a while, so we took advantage of the long Labor Day weekend at the beginning of the month and built the frame.  Wesley was a big helper - I'm pretty sure I took way more pictures of him than I did the actual project, but you'll get the idea :)  Not sure what we'll plant first - any suggestions for a winter crop?

Look daddy, we did it!

Next step is to put the soil put in, and plant!
