Proud Gardeners

Our ward did a project to get everyone to grow a garden. The bishop owns a nursery and was able to get some really good soil/compost mix that is excellent for growing. He also had us plant the seeds and he got the starts going for us at his nursery. Anyway, here is the beginning with only four plants.

Our regular dirt in the yard is like clay, so it is best to have a raised bed with the good stuff in it.

Here it is at one month.

Then it got so big...

We expanded.

First "fruits" of our labor.

Derek and I thought the beets were ready, but Jeff was right--not quite yet. Jeff enjoyed beet greens instead.

EASTER 2009

Saturday we waited for Nicholas to get home from a wet, cold and miserable backpacking trip, then we colored eggs. I didn't cook enough. Jeff was having waay too much fun experimenting.

Then Sunday morning Kade woke up like it was Christmas or something. he went and woke up everyone else.

As the day went on, we found one or two more pieces of candy. I need to clean real good and find it all.
