We finally planted a garden this spring. It took some ingenuity, engineering and many more hours then expected, but we finally built a deer-proof growing space. We have been eating peas and lettuce now from our garden for the past few weeks. It is so satisfying to go and pick some vegetables that you have grown and tended for dinner. I want to always remember Grace running into the house, her hands full of homegrown peas and a smile of wonder on her face. She was the first to sample them, but we have all eaten our share. Does anyone ever grow enough peas that they make it to the dinner table? We just seem to eat them straight from the vines.
The kids each have their own area to plan, plant, tend and harvest. I
know it is small, but it is a beginning. There is so much eternal truth
to learn from the Law of the Harvest. We will see if we can keep our
thumbs green all the way through the heat and humidity of summer...
Molly loves peas too!

Love, love it! I go stare at our garden like 3 times a day. We aren't even close to having veggies yet but that plants are growing and it makes me so happy.
awesome!!! Your growing season is so far ahead of us. My peas are getting taller but no flowers yet. I agree, so much to learn. It looks beautiful! xoxo

Wow, they look great. Our garden is lame this year. We have some squash and tomatoes. And that's it. There is some cilantro and dill coming up from last year. For some reason I'm just not into it this year. But I couldn't not plant tomatoes.
