Working in the Garden!!


I was taking pictures on Saturday of my family working out in the garden and I realized that I had a ton of pictures on my camera that I hadn't blogged about yet. So be forewarned this is the first and of many to fallow.

One of the things I really missed when I was away from home (college or Arizona) was working in the garden with my family. Well, Michael and I usually go over to my parents on Saturdays because of Michael's work. This particular Saturday my family just happened to be starting the garden! Now not being able to bend over like I use too with my tinny belly in the way I took pictures! Although I did get to get my hands in the dirt at least a little :)

This is my mom's Green House.
It comes up and down as needed and is a new addition to the back yard this spring. 
The cabbage broccoli cauliflower and many other starts inside the green house.



This is Cody trying not to laugh and his click happy sister ;)


To help keep the soil healthy in our garden my family will through their fruit and vegi peels on the garden. Then Dad tills it under. Well when getting the garden "put away" for winter Cody and Dad found a tree growing. Cody dug it up and now has in own avocado tree! He's been taking care of it all winter and is now putting it in the green house for the summer!



There is the actual working in the garden. We planted chard, peas, lettuce, carrots, radishes, and onions (yellow and red)! I can't wait to eat some!!
