Nick and I are trying our luck with square foot gardening this year. For two years we have tried to plant a garden in the "garden spot" that existed when we bought our house. Whoever decided to dig up the corner of the yard that gets no sun and no water was not the brightest fellow. Not only is there no sun and not enough water, we have a horse sized pooch who just loved to dig up (and eat) the plants (watermelon and onions were her favorites). Needless to say, nothing grew except weeds of course. Then we saw all these families in our neighborhood doing these square foot gardens and getting massive amounts of stuff out of them and we decided to give it a try. The dog I fear may still be a problem so we had to put chicken wire over the tops of the boxes. Hopefully by the time things are growing and we take it off she will get the idea!
Harrison has loved being outside and getting dirty while we have been building these boxes. He especially loves a wheelbarrow ride!
In order for us to get any work done we have to chain up the dog, and he loves that too! Macy is usually too busy playing fetch (or digging in our gardens) to pay much attention to Harrison. When we chain her up she has no choice but to play with him and he loves it. The other day I looked over and he was feeding her rocks! Of course she tried to eat them, because she tries to eat everything.
I promise he looks cute and clean in the morning. By the afternoon....well, I guess this picture explains it. Hair all messy, shirt stained....they can't look picture perfect all the time.
This is his new thing. He loves to climb into the entertainment center and get out the movies. I have notice that "Austin Powers" and "The Office" are his two favorites to get into. He is EXACTLY like Nick. I think if our house was burning and someone told Nick that he could take all our important documents and two movies these would be the movies he would save (and he'd somehow find a way to sneak Seinfeld out too).

Hey we are trying out square foot gardening too! Did you plant tomatoes in yours?
We are going to plant tomatoes but we haven't planted yet. Everyone says to wait until after Mother's Day, so we will probably plant next week.
