How does your garden grow?

Brian built garden boxes for his mom and our family. Landon watched the whole thing and even watched Grandma Jensen plant some things for the garden. When we went out to plant our seeds for a Family Home Evening activity, we found that Landon had already started our garden. We found several screws planted in the dirt and just had to laugh.

After we cleaned the screws out of the garden box we started planting. We first planted a tomato plant. Then we planted a couple rows of carrots and peas. We got some strawberries and potatoes too. Corinne was a big help and we are looking forward to a small crop this year.

Next we need to overcome some obstacles if we ever are to get anything from our garden. The first obstacle is me. I am NOT good with plants. If I stay away, the garden will have a 95% better chance of producing. The next obstacle has been the weather. We hope it can make up it's mind soon and decide to stay warm enough to grow our plants. Buddy is a good dog but he can be an obstacle to our potatoes. They are planted in the corner where he likes to dig and lay in the dirt. Our last and unexpected obstacle is my nephew, Jonas. He came over and managed to get himself so dirty playing in the garden. We may have to replant the carrots and peas because nothing is happening yet.
