How does your garden grow ?




We planted our very first garden on April 28th and to date we've only killed a few plants. We have corn, cantaloupe, cucumbers, garden beans, tomatoes and 3 itty bitty oak trees.
Faith and Ty both love to see how big they are all getting, how those tiny seeds sprouted and are becoming actual productive plants!
Of course, the Oak trees will be huge when Bill and I are old and gray but, hey!
It's fun to think that we would have been
growing them almost out entire lives together.
