Pea patch before


So, I thought that I would update you on the garden. The pic of McKenzie shows you what the garden looked like before. It is amazing to see how wonderful God has created the world. I am often amazed that the choices that were made oh so long ago, still hold today. The other day when we were there, D said why do we have to work the soil, I explained to him that man was cursed to toil the soil all the days of his life. Everything that we need has come from the ground. He looked and me and smiled. Yes D even your i-pod.
The boys are excited to see things growing and even more excited to find out that we can enjoy the fruits of our labor.....really. The corn has a strong start and the peas have been nibbled on by rabbits. I have a fence but have yet to put it up.
MY potatoes have started to bloom with white flowers, underground spuds are growing. We sound have blueberries next summer and we are trying to grow carrots. The boys have these tricoloured green beans. I hate green beans. I remember being at 100 mile house with my aunt and uncle. They had a green house with those beans. I ate enough to last a few life times.I am so glad to have learned gardening with my aunt and uncle. Love you guys.
