Gardening

This year and last year the end of our summer has been filled with Gardening...that's right Gardening. Never in my life did I think I would ever garden, and for that matter enjoy it, but I really do. We got sucked into the gardening life by our Ward, which plants gardens in the backyards of several members home for all to benefit from. We LOVE it. And this year in particular the kids have loved taking part in any gardening project that has come our way. We have been corn, peach, blackberry, tomato, zuchini, squash, bell pepper, and cucumber picking this year, and each and every time the kids have been right there with us. They love putting the food in our buckets and then coming home and seeing what can be done with the food. To date we have made pies, cobblers, jams, and chili from the fruits of our labors:) YUMM YUMM!! Because they have had so much fun this year they said that we need to plant a big garden in our yard next year!! Mikaela in particular says we need to plant strawberries (her favorite fruit) and lots of raspberries!! She has loved gardening more than any of us and is always super excited whenever she gets to go. Below is a little page I made from when we were peach picking at a friends house.
