Our vegetable garden

This spring, Andrew and I decided to grow a vegetable garden in our yard. Since neither of us have much experience doing this sort of thing we chose four veggies that are known to be relatively easy to cultivate: tomatoes, green beans, snap peas and green peppers. (A special thank you to the garden expert at Lowes who walked us through how to best grow a vegetable garden and recommended these beginner vegetables.) As tomatoes and green peppers require more time to sprout than other vegetables, we first planted those seeds in trays and had them grow inside the house for the past month and a half. We have been eagerly watching their progress and have noticed that the tomato plants started to sprout much quicker than the green peppers (by about 2 weeks).  Yesterday, we finally moved them all outside into the garden and planted the seeds for the peas and beans. We are really excited to watch our vegetable garden flourish and to enjoy fresh, organic, homegrown veggies this summer!
