Grandpa's garden

Grandpa Carl has a very cool garden, which is producing celery, lettuce, radishes, swiss chard and lots of beets at the moment. Rhiannon helped him harvest some goodness for dinner.
This is a raised-bed garden, built by layers of alfalfa, newspaper, and hay with some dirt thrown in for good measure. In addition to the above veggies, there are also peas, beans, carrots, tomatoes and corn growing happily in the backyard.

Tonight Rhodri and I are sneaking away to Ojai Valley Inn for the night and the grandparents get to have the urchins all to themselves for about 24 hours. Thank you, Grandparents :-)
