Gardening

Last year my mom and I and a friend decided to do a garden in my mom's backyard. None of us had much gardening experience but we were going to give it a try. It was the biggest failure EVER! So naturally, my mom and I decided to do it again this year. But this time we recruited my dad to help us out since obviously we knew nothing about gardening. Dad has put so much work into the garden and our garden rocks this year! Thanks to Dad. I wish I had pictures to compare the two years - it's hilarious to think of our garden from last year versus this one. Here's some pictures of my parents and myself working together in the garden - we even got Tye out there to help us. Jake helped too but he wasn't there the night I was taking pictures. He even built us a sprinkler for the garden. My husband is the best!




Tye is pretending like he has been working so hard and is now taking a break. (I'm pretty sure that he hadn't done much, if any, work at this point.)



Me and my madre posing for the camera while holding some "premium manure".

Tye actually working. Just kidding Tye - kind of.

We planted enough to feed the whole neighborhood, now we're just hoping something will grow - even if it's just enough to feed us.

I am so impressed! I still remember when we tried the whole "garden" thing at the farm! I could grow some pretty mean and tall lookin weeds! If you do happen to grow any tomatoes I'm in! Good luck!! Love you! mom
