Garden Planted

The children and I planted our garden on Tuesday, May 25th. This is our biggest garden yet, at
42' wide, by 67' long! Shawn had a long hot job on Monday evening tilling it. Dad had brought the tractor up and plowed and disked in the beginning of May, but after all the rain we had the first 2 weeks, I wasn't able to plant the garden and the ground hardened. So, thanks to Shawn, we had nice soil to work with instead of hard clumps. We planted silver and sweet corn, green beans, onions, lettuce, butternut squash, watermelon, cucumbers, sunflowers, 22 tomato plants, 12 bell pepper plants, 6 banana pepper plants and 6 Hungarian Hot pepper plants. Dad gave me the idea of catty corner rows, and I tried that this year. Ever year we seem to have a weed problem, this year(like others) I said we'd keep on top of the weeds. I thought if I posted weekly garden shots, it would motivate me. We'll see how long both last. Maybe we can make it our summer challenge! Hannah thinks this is the best, neatest garden we've ever planted. Thanks, Hannah!
We also tried planting several small trees in the backyard, the one our neighbor boy dug for us seems to be doing the best. It has grown around 6" already, and we've dubbed him "Dan". He has a nice show of leaves, the other little trees are mostly brown.
I can hear the weeds growing, so best go for now. Will try for some yard shots later today.
