At our new house in the back yard there is a 20'x35' garden area and we decided that we are going to give it a try. So with the help of our dear friends John and Abby we are going to hopefully have a fresh array of vegetables from our own planting and hard work. I am excited about this idea but I don't really know what I am doing so this might not turn out the way I hope.
Abby and I started the process by weeding all the tall flowers and grass that had taken over the area and then Jason did the tiller that our neighbor let us borrow. It was back breaking work having to be bent over and pulling out stubborn weeds but after three hours of dilligence we got the job done.
We went and picked up a fence to keep rabbits and the dogs out and most of our seed packets this weekend. It is still a little to cold at night to put most of the seeds in the ground yet so we are waiting a couple of weeks to really get going.
I am glad that I have this opportunity to learn a self-reliance skill like this with my husband and friends. The prophets have told us of the importance of this and I am thankful for their wisdom and know that like any thing that is hard work it is worth sticking with it.
