for family home evening last monday we planted a vegetable garden.
other then the 3 bean seeds we planted in idaho, and the tomato we grew in california, we haven't had any gardening experience.
so this should be interesting.
we planted some potatoes, carrots, beans, peas, and cucumbers.
let's hope at least one of those things grows!
we live in a townhome, so we don't have a yard.
we are 'borrowing' some space on my aunt and uncle's acreage, just south of the city.
it's perfect because we honestly couldn't possibly live any closer to the edge of the city.
really.
the only thing between our home and farmland is a grocery store.
it is weird to be so close to open space right after living right in the thick of LA!
but it is a good 'weird'.
and it sure makes it convenient to check on our beloved garden.
we plan on this garden being our family project for the summer.
although, it seems like it will be more of a couple project then a family project..
our boys aren't much help.
they are way more interested in driving the miniature john deere tractor.
and i don't blame them.
i feel like we have been spending a lot of time out on the acreage lately.
last night we went out there with april and her kids.
they are up visiting from texas for a couple weeks.
we spent our evening cooking hotdogs and marshmallows in the teepee.
