Curtis Garden 2013 - The Start

 Mark's doctor recommended he start eating green smoothies with ground flax seed to try to recover from the damage gluten had done to his digestive system.  Our whole family has taken to green smoothies pretty well.  We are now eating through spinach, kale, frozen berries and Costco's frozen tropical fruit mix like crazy.  We've also started doing a bit of juicing.  So Mark decided it was time to start growing some of our own veggies.  He and Allison spent last weekend building a raised bed and prepping for planting.  We're getting started by following the advice in this book and hoping to plant veggies this weekend.
 Allison loved spending an afternoon playing in the dirt and working in the garden (until she got dirt in her eyes of course).  She is actually pretty good about eating her veggies and we know she'll enjoy watching them grow.
