Garden! Before and After

Jeff had a vision of a garden at our new home. A really big garden so in February Jeff tore up the grass and Jeff's dad Jim came and helped cut the tree down. 
My mom and Jeff planted. 

{ i don't have a green thumb.}

And a few months later. 

Tadaaaa!!!

We do have a lot of weeds and earwigs and potato bugs.  Which  harm your plants. There are hard to get rid of because we can't use pesticides. We are trying really hard to have a non-pesticide garden. 




So if you have this same issue we came up with a plan to get rid of earwigs.

* Take a plastic water bottle and cut it in half.

*Put some tuna fish in the bottom of your bottle.

* Take the top were you drink water out of and inverted in.

 *Then tape the sides up. 

*Lay your trap in garden and wait!!

-after you trap them just toss it away.

  1. Great idea! Thanks for sharing it. It was so fun (and such a surprise!) to see all of you yesterday. I thought Greenliee looked beautiful in her red dress. I'm sure it meant the world to M and B that you came.

    Keep this garden growing -- I want to see it in person!
