MY GARDEN...We got possession of the farm on June 1st...however we didn't do the big move (meaning with the moving truck) until the next week....so since I wanted so badly to get a garden in my mom and I started it right away...we worked for hours...even in the rain...but it was well worth it because my garden flourished and yielded lots of vegetables.

| We were told that this spot was used as a garden in the past but was covered by the previous owners by gravel as they used the space for parking. Therefore to convert it back to a garden my mom and I had to remove all the little stones, aerate the soil and add more soil to it...I think I ordered 4 yards of soil. I know it doesn't look like much yet but just getting to this stage was hard work. |
 |
| This was the fun part...planting the seeds. We planted yellow & green beans, carrots, cucumbers, parsnips, beets, corn, tomatoes, green pepper, hot peppers &onions One of the most delightful things about a garden is the anticipation it provides |

| This is day 2 of planting my bean seeds...beans grow so fast |
Weather means more when you have a garden. There's nothing like listening to a rain shower and thinking how it is soaking in around your green beans.
 |
| All my carrots were fat and weird looking but tasted normal |
 |
| My first time growing corn...it was really good...I also used my corn stalks for fall decorations |
 |
| My sunflowers were my favorite...they were soooo beautiful and made me happy! |

| I wish I got a picture earlier...it was so sad to see them start to wilt. |
