How does your garden grow...

Putting in a garden has been a family project since Christmas - we have tilled, fertilized, planted, watered and made lots of messes in the mud and dirt. Here are a few pictures of the process in our backyard. The update as of today - a few corn plants are peeping out and we are excited!

Behind Samuel is the watermelon hill. Jeremy has a dream of having hundreds of watermelons on our hill to give away to everyone we know - I'm hoping we have a couple of yummy ones to eat!
Lucy wanted to come in but was in need of little washing first
