How Does Our Garden Grow?

How exciting it has been to begin gardening this year! We began planning our garden last winter and purchased heirloom seeds from Bakers Creek Rare Seed Company. We started our seeds inside the house in February, then in May we planted them outside in a raised garden bed that we made. Our goal was to do everything organically and we were able to manage that! We used all organic fertilizer and soil and no pesticides or chemicals. Chris made two huge rain barrels that are attached to the downspouts of our home so we wouldn't have to spend as much money watering. We have learned so much this year and can't wait for next year - already planning!! Squash, Zucchini, and tomatoes seem to be our thing as we have picked an abundance of them! We planted watermelon and cantelope and have harvested several and have many more left to pick... it's so hard waiting for them to ripen! We've also picked a good amount of okra. Our packed freezers are a testimony to how much God has blessed us through our garden this year! Thank You, Lord!
