Time to plant

Daddy and I have wanted to have a small garden for awhile now.......especially now, with the price of fruit and veggies going up!! Working the ground and the whole process of planting and growing things is such a testiment to God's power. Yes, it is our hands that prepare the dirt and plant the seed, but for the food to grow is ALL up to GOD.
We went down to Franklin's Farmers Market a few weekends ago.... which is a whole other experience and one we will revisit again!!! We wanted your help to choose what we would put in our new garden. We chose tomatoes, carrots, green bell peppers, squash, broccoli, cucumber, cataloupe, strawberries and pumpkins. Because our space is not huge, we only got a few of each to try.

Here you are helping Daddy plan out the order of the plants and then, actually helping to plant each one. Caitlyn, you were most excited about your new "work" gloves--a girl has to have the right atttire when doing anything, right?!



The finished product.....we look forward to watering and seeing what will grow, when it will grow and finally, tasting the spoils!!!!!!!!!
