Growing a Garden





This year we are trying to grow a garden. It's great to be able to work on it as a family. It's funny though, because whenever we are planting the seeds, it's dark. We call it Moonlight Gardening :-)
We have some good friends who have been doing it for 15 years, and they have been a huge help! They even let us scoop some of their goat poop to use as compost. That may not sound like fun, but it was! We have planted lettuce, spinach, potatoes, and onions. The lettuce and the spinach are up, but they are still pretty small. It is important to remember that while we plan and work, God is the One who blesses us with the food.

Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. Psalm 127:1
