Day 1: The Mayne Garden

This afternoon we planted our vegetable garden along the Webhannet River in Wells, ME. It was a bright and sunny Memorial Day so we jumped on the opportunity to begin our gardening adventure. We took a trip to Jo Ann's Nursery and "two" to Chase Farm (forgot the tomatoes) and stocked up on seedlings. As we worked the sun was hot, but a cool breeze from the Rachel Carson Estuary kept us comfortable. After several hours we completed the first step in our "Mayne Garden".  Below is an inventory of our planting bed.      

•   9 Zucchini 
• 6 Bell Pepper
• 3 Yellow Summer Squash
