We are big garden planting people, but it has been so wet in our garden that we haven't been able to get much planted. You may (probably not) recall that last year our harvest was completely pathetic due to 2 drown outs, so we purchased dirt in the fall to build up our garden space. We were finally able to get into the area recently to get it leveled out, plowed, and disced. And today....drumroll please...we planted our garden! What a great day.
Back several months ago for a Family Home Evening we planted seeds...
We tried this last year, but unfortunately not many of our plants lived. This year, our plants did great. We were able to save a significant amount of money by growing our own plants.
Today we all worked together (including Papaw)
and planted our beautiful garden.
Lindsey was even a big help
(in between playing in her pool...hence the swimsuit).
We also got to watch a farmer come and plant soybeans in our fields (we rent them out since we don't have the machinary capable of such a big job). We can't wait to see the fields full of beans.
It's such a great feeling planting a garden. Here's hoping for a bountiful harvest!
