Working in the garden

April 14, 2012

I still have to do my BIG garden post, and give the history behind it...... but for now I must talk about how much my Abby loves our garden and working in it. She is always saying how important it is that we take good care of our garden so the vegetable can grow. This garden has inherited many rocks, which is part of the mystery story...... and Abby loves to help us pick rocks out of the garden. This particular Saturday she stayed our in that garden by herself for quite sometime putting rocks in her wheelbarrow! She was so proud of herself, and of course I was too! 

So far we have planted peas, carrots, onions, and that is it. Red potatoes, green beans, cucumbers, zucchini still to come! (I plan on making some very yummy peas, carrots, and potatoes in white sauce....a favorite growing up) Are you wondering how I can fit all those veges in that little spot? I can do it. 

I've been telling the kids the importance of watering the garden, weeding it, and of course praying for it and having faith it will grow. Well the peas are already up and looking great. Abby told me, "Mom you must be praying hard!" 

I love my little family and I love my little garden! Lets hope for a bounteous harvest!
