As you can see the garden is growing and somehow the weeds grow faster than the produce. It's like my Grandma's neighbor said, weeds are like interest, they never SLEEP.
The friend who I've known the longest, Traci, met me at Aaron's grandma's house to help me weed. I am SOOOOO grateful for her help. Ayden slept most of the time and Abigail spent the morning with my mom. I believe the Lord had a hand in it all.
Here is a funny story. When Grandma Clark came out to look at the garden she showed us the cantaloupe plant we planted last week and than she went to show us the cucumber plant and couldn't find it. I asked her if it was a couple of plant looking growth, but they were weeds in disguise. We found the cucumber plant, I weeded it:) Whoops. So we decided to plant a few more in a different place. Grandma went back inside and Traci and I planted the cucumbers. When Grandma Clark returned I'm sure she wasn't surprised to see we had planted it all wrong. We had planted it way too deep, I told Grandma we could find the seeds and she said no, they'll be okay. I had a hunch though I had done it wrong so I went to find the seeds and Grandma was like they couldn't be that far down and I said oh yes they could and Traci said, "Grandma, we're city folk!" TRACI YOU'RE THE BEST!!!!! Thanks for all your help.

I am so jealous of your garden! We will be here until July 28 so lets get together!
Your garden is awesome! We finally planted 2 tomato plants, 1 cucumber and 1 bell pepper in containers on our back patio on Saturday. I think I already killed the bell pepper - all the leaves but 3 fell off today!
Hey Christine! How are you? I happened on your blog ( : Fun to see pics of Traci, Leanne, Summer and Brynne. Congrats on your little boy! I'm sure you're busy busy... Lots of love,
Christine Fowler
what fun!! Our tiny garden isn't doing so well :( I'll have to get some tips from you and your grandma! It's a bit harder then it seems, huh?! I think some birds got to some of our seeds. Anyways, it looks great and you have such cute kids! I love all the pics.
Oh, Moriah is 2 yrs. 5 months.
oh, and you can find that little FHE game on ldsplash.com There is a little flower one that Moriah really enjoyed. :)
I loved helping out and learning a thing or two from grandma. Baby steps. I'm trying to keep some window boxes alive, but I don't know if I will win. ALWAYS love being with you Criny.
so funny about you weeding the cucumber plant. i wouldn't know one plant from the other either!! hope you are doing well. you look great!
i was thinking about you and your weeds the other day when i was picking weeds in my mom's garden. i am excited to hear how the rest of the garden goes/grows.
I dug up a time capsule at the reunion, it was full of water. I am trying to dry stuff out to see if I can save anything. bummer
