Working on the garden

The day after we got home, we were up early and headed to Runnings (like a fleet farm lol) and picked up some plants for our Garden. Harley got himself a maple tree. We also went to another nursery and picked up two Honeycrisp apple trees from our front yard, I always wanted an apple tree. We rented a tiny tiller and got to work.
Harley was fast at work in the garden, you can see where our original garden was by the lighter soil and where ours would end up being by the outine. I weeded the original garden and planted some tomato plans in that space while Harley worked on tilling up the rest of it.
I planted fifteen tomato plants here. We also have a tiny garden by the side of the house where we planted some lettuce and cilantro. Here is what it looks like.
As you can see here, it is right by our large garden. I plan on making a rain barrel somewhere over here for watering purposes, of course :)
This is what our garden looks like now. Harley's sister and brother-in-law came over this weekend and tilled up the far half a little bit more for us. Once that part is all weeded, we will be planting some green beans and cucumbers over here. 
All together, we planted 27 tomato plants 12 jalapeño plants, 2 habanero plants, 8 green bell pepper plants, 8 red bell pepper plants and countless cilantro and lettuce plants. It was a productive day.
