Garden Grow

It started as a big patch of grass.  When Troy showed me how much he would till, I almost fainted.

 Tilling...

Seedling began in Feb, lost most of those due to "dampening off", but re-seeded in late Feb.  We only started: squash, lettuce and tomatoes in the trays; everything else was planted directly in the soil on 4/15/11: Corn, Creamer peas, lady peas, purple hull peas, okra, watermelon, cantaloupe, potatoes, green beans, peppers, sweet snap peas and successive plantings of squash. 

Troy added fence that you see on the right (awesome job babe!).  Here is the garden on 5/21/11

Not quite finished with the fence.

A little beauty we picked.  First fruits are oh so sweet!

I have to say.  Gardening is one of my favorite things to do in this life.  Something about watching a seed turn into this, bring such great pleasure.  Working the ground, pulling weeds, managing those pesky bugs (organically).  So.much.fun.  Just a glimpse of how the Father must feel to watch us grow in Christ.  Now God, bring the rain!!(in more ways than one!)  :)
