This past weekend, we went to my grandparents' house to get started on our summer garden. Granted, it is a lot of work, but the kids enjoy it and I think it teaches them a lot of good lessons. Plus, it gives us an excuse to go visit my grandparents. Here's a brief recap of our day:Daddy and Caroline getting the soil ready (and yes, Caroline had ear plugs. She ran into the house and told me that she needed some plugs for her ears so that she could help drive the tractor.)...
Matt making certain that his rows were a straight as possible (and according to Pappaw they have never been straighter so that made Matt very proud)....
Will checking to see if the soil was any good....
which it obviously wasn't in his opinion....
He then decided to check and see what kind of vegetables we would be planting...
and talked Pappaw into letting him help a little...
Unfortunately, we don't have any pictures of us actually planting the garden because that was primarily my job. However, I did manage to get a picture of Pappaw and Caroline surveying the job I did to see if it was done correctly.
We ended up finishing the job right before sundown. According to Pappaw, it "has come a good rain" and everything looks to be doing good. And I guess he should know considering he checked on it 4 times in one day! Let's just hope everything sprouts and we get some good vegetables to enjoy!
