"Are You A Farmer?"

That was the question put to Stephen yesterday as he checked out at the feed store with more seeds and plants as well as seed potato and chicken feed!!! Well not exactly, but we sure have been enjoying putting in our garden together and looking forward to the bountiful harvest that we're HOPING to receive!!! It was another gardening Saturday around here as we spent a few hours outside doing a lot more planting. We've got so much planted now!!! Among other things, we've got 2 kinds of peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, herbs, cucumbers, okra, zucchini, potatoes, squash!!! We snapped a bunch of pictures today. Although it may look like the photographer did nothing but snap pictures, trust me, she did also take a turn behind hoe and and rake and get down in the dirt and have fun doing some planting!!!

Enjoy!

It's been so fun to watch some of our seeds develop into little sprouts over the last couple weeks!






Sometimes you have to hit the workers over the head to keep 'em in line!




Can't let Daddy do it all by himself!!!!




Supervising Daddy's efforts



The supervisor cracks her whip!




"And you know, who says you have to wait until harvest time to start sampling the wonderful flavors of the great outdoors???!!!"

Maybe Grampa and I need to plan a trip during harvest. You can, we babysit!

Thanks for the pictures. I'm excited to see the progress.
Clara looks so stern in that picture by the chair. Watch out!
