Step 6. Clean It Up

Although we have a ton of plans for our garden that we are just waiting to put into action, we've slowly but surely been attempting to make some improvements in our garden.
We added a beautiful little stone bird bath and some little evergreens (thanks to my dad, asia, and kelsey).

and a little whiskey barrel for holding rain water: 

We've found that utilizing the sprinkler attachment to the hose we've been able to lightly water the garden while controlling the range of the water in order to save as much as possible.

 

But of course the most exciting new things in our garden were the appearance of our little seedlings:

Spinach:

 Carrots:

We are so excited everyday to see our garden and what it has been doing.
Soon we hope to add a rain collection barrel to hook to our down spouts, some sort of sustainable protection from birds, a compost tumbler, and gravel for the walkways.
