When I was young I totally questioned my parents, "WHY DO WE HAVE A GARDEN? THEY HAVE ALL OF THIS "STUFF" AT THE STORE!"
OK, now that I have money and run the home, I am wondering, "Why on Earth wouldn't you have a garden?" Everything is cheaper, yummier and organic. Soooooooo..... why wouldn't you have a garden.
Skip to this year. Last year was a crappy summer and our garden barely produced because produces NEED SUN. We didn't have any last year. So all the time, money, effort, back breaking weed pulling was almost in VAIN. I refused to do one this year, although I co-garden with my dad every year. Luckily my dad wasn't the quitter I am and decided to do one across the street at my uncle's in his back yard. HECK YA!!!! We have acccess to the goods again while not taking up our entire yard.
I was working with my dad but snapped a picture of the little hooligans running between the rows!
Radishes, peas and lettuce are ready. Everything else is going splendidly!
We moved Gavin's DIGGER over and they play with it the whole time while Dad and I plant, plant, water and weed!
Do they like working in the garden days?
Yes, and the pay-off this year. Delicious goods, while my yard is free for newly planted grass and FUN!!!*** So, do you garden? Why or why not?
*** What do you have up? What do you love growing, that I should add to the family garden?
