Jeremiah got things started... breaking ground!
Elijah was close behind- his version of tilling
A boy who follows in his fathers footsteps
Then it was my turn to take over... the tiller was heavy and hard to turn
The first few runs are done.... many more to come...
Elijah's making sure the ground is just right. Any toy with wheels is a lawn mower or a tiller
Breaking up some of the clumps of grass and dirt. My boys and their rakes
Garden is finally tilled and trenches are dug
Elijah hammers in the stakes to mark the rows
My blister- right below my middle finger. That's the hand of a true worker!
Jeremiah planting the corn
Mommy and Elijah planting pumpkins... hopefully they'll grow and Eli can carve one this fall!!!
The finished product. Corn, Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Pumpkins and possibly potatoes a little later.
Oh, I love you garden. More than the garden it warms my heart to see your little family doing such a big job together. You are making some wonderful memories. The kind that get you through the hard times, and you know just what I'm talking about there. I love you tons, and I'm so proud of the woman you have grown up to be.
ReplyDeleteLook at you workin that tid-der!! Wow that is so impressive!, your papa never let me run his, thought it would eat me up. I love the little Skipper doing his part to help his pappy! You guys have done an amazing job!!!!
