Full garden

The planting is done, now we sit back and hope for something to actually grow :) We planted:

all Burpee brand. I realized now, about 8hrs too late, that I made a few mistakes with planting locations within the garden bed. I thought the green beans needed to climb, but they don't, and I didn't realize that cukes do! I should have swapped the cukes and beans, but now I'm going to have climbers surrounding my beans. Hopefully they get enough sunlight!

I just wrote on a calendar when to expect seedlings and harvests for each. I'm feeling very optimistic :) I'm going to use this project to help teach my toddler about dates and calendars. It's amazing how many learning experiences there are in every day life for a little one.
