As you can tell from these pics, the twins like the yard so far. We're going to put them to hard work, er, I mean, get them to help once we get things growing in the ground. These garden boxes were already here from the previous owners and we plan on taking advantage and planting lots of vegetables in here.
To continue the edible garden theme, KLC and I just planted some raspberries and blueberries (they look like sticks at this point -- who knew?) in one of the newly constructed beds on the west side of the house. We're not expecting much of a yield, if anything, from these this year, but we think the kids will have fun picking the berries in the years to come. Also just in the ground: two dwarf pear trees. For someone who has been living in condo buildings with no yard of my own, this is a whole new adventure.
