Every day Kirt comes home, changes and then goes out to work preparing the garden for planting. I started some seeds indoors to get them growing. We have 2 raised planter boxes, but really need more. The trick it putting them where the most sun hits for the longest time during the day. He had to turn over the soil and add some other dark stuff and dig it all up over and over.
The prophet has told us to plant a garden to help feed our families. When we tried growing corn last year and were not successful I showed these cobs to our Relief Society and told them "Don't wait till you NEED to feed your family from your garden to learn how!"
This morning he is able to plant the tomatoes- we bought plants for them. Our seeds are just popping up in their little boxes with the clear plastic domes to keep it warm and moist inside.
We have 2 different kinds of green beans, peas, squash and cucumbers and dill weed. I would like to bottle dill pickles this summer. I have not canned pickles since 1971.
