SO while I was in PHOTO DARKNESS, we planted a garden! Our ward found a big spot and gave plots to families that were interested! We were OF COURSE the LAST people to plant but BETTER LATE THEN NEVER!
These photos were taken 2 weeks after we planted (due to photo darkness)!! We really don't know what we are doing so if we get ONE veggie from each plant I will be thrilled!
The kids LOVE coming to water every day, Spencer usually rides his bike and I push the other boys in the stroller! We have had to ground the kids from the garden a few times because its been hard to learn to walk IN THE ROWS and not on the plants! But they are getting better!
My mom gave the kids VEGGIE TALE seeds for Sunflowers and Green beans, and so the kids have been most enthusiastic about watching them grow! The boys and I made some special markers so we would know where each thing was planted! they turned out really cute!
I have been having trouble with my tomatoes are pretty sad looking, if ANYONE has any advice please send it my way!
Last week we picked our first strawberry! Spencer was so excited when he first noticed it and couldn't wait to eat it!
We will keep posting as the garden grows and grows! It has already been so much fun to watch it progress, I cant wait until we can actually start eating our own home grown veggies!

That strawberry looks pretty good Spencer! and I'm so glad the plants didn't die before they got into the ground!! Yea for Veggie Tales-inspired seeds!
What a beautiful garden! I love the painted rocks that's a great idea I'm gonna have to use that on my own!
I too love the painted rocks. You have to keep us updated with pics of all the goodies you get out of your garden.
