A Work in Progress

This year we decided that we really wanted to plant a garden. Well, that meant a lot of work. The ground was so hard that we had to put water on it to soften it up. After that we tilled it, and cleaned out all the weeds.


We got the ground a little too wet, so now we have to wait for it to dry a little. Then we'll till it again, fertilize it, and plant our little seeds. I'm hoping to get this done this evening after Ry gets home from work, if it's not too late. Hopefully we can get something to grow. We've never planted a garden before so we'll see.

For the last couple of years our friends had the most amazing garden. It was probably at least 5 times the size of our little spot. We never asked, but they always offered us food from it. They had more than they could eat, and shared with all the neighbors. Then, they moved in Nov. I was so sad. They were wonderful friends. So, when spring came around, I started thinking about gardens, and thought oh no, Amber won't be here. That's when I decided we should try one for ourselves. We can do it, right? I love fresh veggies, they are so yummy!! Hopefully ours will be plentiful. We are trying just a small spot this year, to see if we can figure out what we're doing. I can't wait!
