We Have A Garden Again!

My Little Plot of a Garden

After 3 years of not having a garden since we moved into our existing home, we finally have a small garden again.  Thanks to my darling husband and Christian and Luke, who worked all weekend.  They cleared the land and brought in topsoil and fertilizer.  Now we have two types of tomatoes, 3 types of peppers and green beans just waiting to mature.  In our two houses prior to this one, we had little gardens as well.  They were very fruitful and so fun for the children to tend to.  Even though at times the weeding and watering were not the funnest thing for them to do, the rewards were worth it.  I know to some of you out there with really big gardens or even farms, this seems so tiny.  But to us in suburbia, this is a big deal.  Now that my husband bought a small tiler, they have begun clearing a spot for an even bigger one......maybe next year.
 Luke and MK found worms to add to the soil.
There is something so therapeutic about a garden.  Remember when God created man and woman, He put them in a garden : )
