...how does your garden grow?

Justin had gotten some free plants from the horticulture department at the community college where he works. So we thought we would give it a go. He whipped up some raised beds. (He is becoming quite the carpenter actually! More on that later!) We filled them with some gardening soil... and there ya have it! I think we watered the garden maybe 10 times. It seems relatively effortless. And we have some cucumbers, tomatoes, and watermelon!

The boys absolutely love it as well! There isn't a better way to get kids to eat their veggies than to have them grow them themselves. It is also a great way to talk to the boys about how God grows us and weeds us and waters us- so that we can bear fruit for His glory.

I think next year we are going bigger!

PS- Get a look at those "art" hands! Those things are looking rugged.
