The past couple of years we have grown a few veggies in earth boxes, but we decided to expand just a little and build a couple of raised beds. We started our vegetable plants from seeds this year (we usually just buy plants that are already started) so we're hoping they're successful. We wanted Connor and Dylan to be involved in the whole process so they could see how we get big, beautiful (hopefully) vegetables from tiny seeds and how grand God's design is! They helped us plant the seeds in pellets and we prayed over them. Then they helped us prepare the soil in the beds (and ofcourse their favorite part was worm hunting!). And, then they helped us plant and fertilize the vegetable plants. When the vegetables grow they will help us pick them, store them, and cook them. It's so amazing to see them learn so much!
Here are some pictures from our little garden adventure so far:
Worm hunting!
Found some!!
Planting
And fertilizing.
And digging.
Sam chilled.
And ate grass.
And cooed.
And melted my heart!
When Dylan got bored with gardening, he chilled with Sam.
And jumped on the trampoline.
I had to get my hands in the dirt, too.
And done!
(Molly the dog worked hard, too, apparently)
