The Garden




We have had so much fun doing a garden the last 5 years. I think we get better at it each time. This year, we let the girls do a lot of the planting. It looks like the carrots were planted too deep, and the watermelon was a little too handled. But, the rest came up pretty good. David's pride and joy has been the raspberries in the back. Rachel has been the picker, and Sarah has been the raspberry tyrant. She takes the berries, whatever color, and smashes them in her hand. She's so darn cute, so we let her. Rachel and Katie think the whole garden thing is fun, but they miss the carrots this year, we'll have to be more careful next time.

Very impressive garden. Mine consists of a tomato plant in a pot on my porch and I killed it. I have no green thumb whatsoever. Thanks for the comment. The fact that David ended up exactly where he wanted to be as far as jobs definitely gives us hope that Dan will find something that he enjoys....someday:)

You're lucky you have good pickers, I just have 2 good eaters - they let mom do the picking. Congrats on the job too! I can't wait to hear where you go. No one deserves it more, your family is so great! Lisa
