Community garden

Our church has embarked on a great project -- they started a community garden. For a very small fee you get a plot and grow whatever you want, and then donate half the harvest.



Our homeschool group thought this would be a good service project, so we headed out there last week. Unfortunately, we'd just had some major rains so it was MUDDY. We didn't end up getting a lot done, but the kids had a blast.
He really is laughing here:
Today we went back out and the ground was much drier. We got all the weeds picked, our compost mixed in and our rows made. Then it started raining so we called it a day. I took some very cute pictures of Chase pulling the little kids in the wagon. Then I got home and went to upload them...and the camera had no memory card in it. Doh!
We head out again Thursday to plant and I will try to get more pictures then.

Project 365 - Day 124

My flower garden continues to grow...



and the zinnias are this close to opening. Each morning Aiden checks to see if they've bloomed.
