We decided to try our hand at provident living, so last Wednesday we planted a garden. We planted one last year but we didn't really get much from it. Our peas and a few of our tomatoes grew and that was all. This year we are hoping we get more out of our garden. So we prayed over it!
This is what our garden looked like before we planted.
Emily loved helping us plant. We even bought her her own shovel. I think she mostly liked playing in the dirt!
Yep those are worms in Emily's hands. While we were digging and planting we found these worms so we gave them to Emily to play with and she LOVED them! I was so surprised, I thought she would be scared of them. She took the worms to the sidewalk and played with them, petted them, and stretched them. Then when she was done playing she threw them back into the garden. It was funny to watch.
Here's our garden!! Last summer one of our friend's made the best homemade salsa from all of the vegetables in her garden so we wanted to do the same. Our garden consists of vegetables to make salsa. We planted onions, garlic, peppers, and about 24 tomato plants! We will be salsa making fools this summer and having tomato sandwiches everyday! We also planted potatoes from some old potatoes we had that had started to grow in the fridge so I don't know if they will actually produce potatoes.
We also planted spaghetti squash, zucchini, and honeydew melon. We are excited about our garden and hoping we get a good crop and that the weather doesn't hurt it this year. If we get a good crop, we will make everyone some salsa!! So wish us luck!

I hope your garden turns out good this year. Planting a garden is so much fun. We planted one last year, but didn't have any luck. We're just like you, we planted another one this year. I love tomatoes and make salsa a lot.
Man am I jealous. The garden looks awesome (good job Emily:) and the weather looks wonderful! Emily is getting so big and such a cutie!
