Spring Plantin'

While my parents were here, we also planted a garden. It has become a big thing with many people in our ward. Plus, I won't have to buy so many vegetables, hopefully. Travis had already put up the wooden frame for our garden box and brought in a load of dark, rich soil. Now we just had to plant. We waited until my dad came, because he is an awesome gardener. He taught us a lot and the boys had fun placing seeds in the rows. We ended up with corn, peas, cucumbers, beans, carrots, a variety of peppers, tomatoes, strawberries and we put raspberries and blueberries along the fence. I am so excited to see how well we do. Thank you Mom and Dad for all your help with getting us self sufficient!

Did I mention that closer half of this garden (corn, peas, beans, carrots, and cucumbers) were seeds and sprouted in 4 days!! I love gardening in Florida! Good soil helps... Wish us luck that we don't kill much.
