Live with in your harvest.

1 Ne. 18: 24

24 And it came to pass that we did begin to till the earth, and we began to plant seeds; yea, we did put all our seeds into the earth, which we had brought from the land of Jerusalem. And it came to pass that they did grow exceedingly; wherefore, we were blessed in abundance.



We are probably a little behind, but this past week we planted our garden. It took us a while to get all of the yard work done to have a garden spot, but we finally got it started!!! Rich and the kids went out and planted the peas. We are hopefully going to have a TON of peas! They are my favorite! He started out with 3 rows for peas and after planting them, he had barely made a dent in the bowl. So we planted another, and another, and another...till we have 7 or 8 rows of peas! Yumm! We have a lot more to plant but ran out of day light and good weather, so there is still more to come.


This is Mackenzie. She is my perfectionist! She hand placed each pea with precise placement and spacing! She has been this way since birth! All I have to do is choose my words right, like ...Mackenzie, could you please "organize" those toys over there? And she is so excited to jump and do it.... the words "clean up" doesn't get quite the reaction that "organize" does.


She then had to go and show Brinley how to do it better.
According to Mackenzie, Brinley wasn't quite doing it up to par.
This is Richie adding rows in between his rows to make me happy and not waste any of my precious pea seeds. What a good hubby!


This is one of our 4 fruit trees we just planted. We got a peach, pear, apple, and nectarine. I can't wait till they start to produce fruit. We also got some blueberry starts. We've heard they are kind of hard to grow, so we'll see if they live.



Water it down slightly before the rain & wind hit later that night.

Jordan jumping on the trampoline. He loves it and it is such a good muscle builder for him!


Micailey & Mackenzie jumping.
It's on our grass until we get ground cover and gravel in the corner where it is supposed to go.

Congrats on the garden. We planted 4 fruit trees last year and our apricot tree has fruit growing on it already!! We did our first garden last year a little late in the season but this year we got a head start. I'm so excited to see things grow!!!
