Ok, I guess there is always a first for everything...First blog, first garden, and first big move!
I lived in the city for 13 years before we decided to do a 180 and change our lives forever; we figured that we needed a little more country and nature. So we left the big city and ventured out to the unknown, of course it was hard at first but the move suited us, as a family we love to explore and figure out our adventures by ourselves. This move has definitely changed my life and me. I have learned to be tougher and more patient (you learn to live with it when you are 25 minutes away from the nearest HEB). We moved the year before high school so I had time to adjust. Now I'm in high school and I have made great friends! We live on five acres and on that land is my amazing little garden...
My garden has an English theme to it. It is twenty-eight feet by thirty feet and has three raised beds, 2 four by ten, and 1 six by twelve. I’ve planted almost everything except cucumbers! Remember, this is our first real garden so when my mom and I went out to buy plants we just got stuff that looked interesting. We kinda forgot about size and spacing so when we went to plant we fudged the spacing a little but I guess this all an experiment any way. Right now we are waiting for everything to grow. I will keep you posted about what happens and will include lots of pictures
Like I said, this is my first blog, so I am hoping that I can figure all this out and post all my pictures!
Hi Kristen! I love getting to see a little bit of what you have been up to in Boerne. How much fun to get to plant such a great garden. Loving the fountain in the middle of it. I will be looking forward to reading more about what you find grows well there. Happy belated birthday too. Hope you had a wonderful celebration. So great to see photos of you guys and where you are. Please keep them coming. Missing you and your family. Please give hugs to all of them for me. Hoping to make a visit there soon.

Kristen,
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are fabulous! I love the details and the lighting. I bet your are so proud of your garden. I just know your mom is proud of you for having a green thumb. I can't wait to see pictures of the garden as it grows.
On another note...HIGH SCHOOL???? I still remember you as a little MWE Eagle.
Watch what happens to Meadow Wood on our blog about our transition to a temporary campus and the building of a new MWE at www.meadowwoodelementary.blogspot.com.

ReplyDeleteHi Kristen, Great Photos and wonderful comments.....and huge first garden. You reminded me of my first garden when you said you ran out of room for cucumbers. I planted my carrots to close together and could not bring myself to thin out. Once I harvested them they were as thin and long as pencils. I look forward to following your progress.
