Spring Garden

 I have wanted to grow a garden for many, many years. I decided i was just going to do it. And do it I did. Here is a picture of the garden growing. I took this picture to send to my mom to kind of brag about how well the garden was going.

I had no idea the garden was going to grow this well.

We got a whole lot of produce out of the garden. More tomatoes than we can count. Lots of zucchini, squash, and cucumbers. Several bell peppers. We would have had green onions, but Gavin decided to weed the garden of them. We had lettuce, Swiss chard, beans, and carrots. The carrots never amounted to much, but we had them.

 Taneal decided to turn this garden into her YW value project. She helped me get the soil, the boxes, etc. She helped plant the seeds, water the garden, and take care of it. She was so in love with the garden. I bet I have over 200+ pictures that she took of the little plants, vegetables, bugs, etc that were in the garden.

 This was a great experience for my children. And me. Now it is too hot and the garden has quit producing. I hope to have a fall garden. I won't really grow tomatoes this time, none of my children like them and Evan is allergic to tomatoes, so it left the eating them completely to me. I can not eat that many of them even though they were so delicious.

 Camie LOVED the bell peppers. She would eat them like an apple. I still have not acquired the taste for these peppers. We all enjoyed the squash and especially the zucchini bread.
