Kevin decided it was time to get to the garden so that's what we did for Family Home Evening tonight. Thankfully, our farmer friend plowed the garden while we were on vacation so the ground was mostly ready. It was a bit chilly (you'll notice most of us have jackets on) so we focused on potatoes. I think we have hit on a brilliant idea - the 5 older kids each have their own plot of land! They picked what they wanted to plant in their plot and they are responsible for taking care of it. Hopefully weeding will be a bit easier because they only have to worry about their stuff!
Here are the potatoes I pulled out of the garden last year, that didn't get eaten. They were in the cool, darkish basement and they still grew like crazy!
We were going to use the tiller but it wouldn't start. I'm sure the guys will get it working soon enough.
The kids were happy to wait while they tried to get the tiller started.
A nest that our neighbor just gave the girls. Marissa put it in a tree.
Harmonie loved watching the chickens.
She hasn't gotten out much but I'm sure she will as the weather gets warmer.
(If it ever gets warm and STAYS warm.)
Gathering to plant!
Hold the potatoes... be so careful!
She loved the dandelions! Delicious!
Inside to plant the peppers and tomatoes!
They'll need to be inside for a while,
and we are probably late but oh well.
Two littlest trying to figure out what their part is!
We let her plant the cherry tomatoes.
She was so excited!
What a great way to help them learn to obey the prophet! Good luck on the crops!
