The new veggie garden

In Mom's attempt to become as big of a hippie as possible, we decided to plant a vegetable garden in the backyard. We planted broccoli, asparagus, 3 types of lettuce, cabbage, onions, and potatoes. Later in the summer we will plant beans and tomatoes, but it is too cold now. It was really fun. I got to put all the seeds in and Mom dug the holes. Mom and Dad did all the hard work digging the garden out and clearing all of the grass away. Ellie and Schatze were very interested in the fertilizer. Hopefully Ellie won't dig everything up before it gets a chance to grow. It turns out that Daschunds were bred to dig out dead animals for hunters a long time ago when the bigger dogs couldn't. Ellie definitely lives up to her Daschund half.
