We are truly grateful for this beautiful spring weather in March and are determine to take advantage of it, so we started gardening this weekend. We bought a tiller, so we could till our new garden beds which worked remarkably well. I'm pretty sure James loves using this new tool! We pulled some dying plants and tried to level out our yard in the places where trucks came driving through last summer. We definitely have some more work to do in that area. But then, the fun began when we put in some strawberries. The boys get one bed all to themselves and strawberries were the first things in. I can't wait to see what else they choose.
Then, we started putting up string to mark 1 square foot areas as we plan to try square foot gardening this year. While stapling the strings on we had some visitors come up to say hi.
Yes, that is a nest of baby rabbits. Apparently our great, tall boxes were not enough to deter the rabbits as we had hoped. We are grateful that they survived the tilling. But in the end, they cannot stay, so we moved them to a bucket and hope they survive and find a home elsewhere. :)
Apparently, they like to burrow and stay underground where it is warmer.
We didn't have time to finish everything, so we will be hard at work again on Monday, but we had a great start and look forward to much more gardening this week!
(This is Jacob excited to be able to jump on the trampoline after we were done.)
