Our Garden

We had a rough start to our garden this year. We built some cool garden boxes and had some great starts going in our kitchen window, but after a crazy spring with freezing and even a snow day on May 1st we had quite a few casualties including most of our onions and all of our peas. We did finally get some things going though, and we have a nice potato, tomato, and beet crop going. I hope that our peppers will pull through as well. Scottie started a few radish seeds in preschool and they made it nicely and were our first harvest.

Did you ever see anyone so excited about radishes?

Scottie even ate one. He wanted to try the plant that he grew and continued eating it despite its "spiciness." A little salad dressing makes nearly anything edible.

Our prophet said to plant a garden...

So that's what we'll do!

We planted our garden and were so excited to see things grow... and then the deer came.

They ate our strawberry plants already... any tips.

Here I am with the boys and the chickens letting the chickens fertilize our garden before we planted everything.  They liked it but when they started to eat all the worms we banned them from the garden.  Now if we can figure out how to ban the deer.
