Finally, a Garden at our new home

Barron decided to take the plunge and put in a small garden this year (and maybe the last he admitted later), planting Kentucky Wonder pole beans, Clemson okra, summer squash, and Big Boy tomatoes -- won't those taste yummy??!!
 
I was the smart one, I chose to stay at the house while the rest went over to John's to load up the truck with natural fertilizer, but I did take a picture of them.



(I thought it safest for the girls to stay inside the truck while Mr. Mark filled up the back with fertilizer -- the girls thought that was weird!)


Many thanks to: Phillip Garrison for plowing up the garden spot, Jerry Barbee for the loan of his tiller, John Garrison for use of his pasture and natural fertilizer, Mark Vincent for his time loading us up with fertizlier, Eliz/Chris/kids for scooping up poo and unloading it as well., Julia for going shopping with me to buy seed, and Abigail who stayed with Daddy Barron to help plant tomatoes. Lord, bring on the sunshine and the rain!We want a big yield -- enough to eat, can or freeze, and some to share!!
