The Garden "2008"

As spring approaches, it is that time again.

My Father and Uncle were avid gardeners. As long as I can remember, we always had a garden. I remember spending hours riding on the tractor and the smell of dirt always lingered.

Many of the deep truths in scripture can be understood in understanding the simplicity of farming. So, even though it is more convenient and allot of times less expensive to go to the grocery store and buy our food, I want my children to have the experience of farming as I was taught as a young man and to pass down the principles that come along with it.


Enjoy the pictures,

I am right there with you, Ben! There is no better place to teach some of God's truths than in the garden! That is my very favorite place to be :)

Loved the pictures -- hey, I didn't see any of the harvest! You will have to post those.

Molly,
This garden's harvest will be coming up in the next few weeks. God has blessed once again and sent us much needed rain when all we had was dust. He is so good!!!
It looks like we will have an abundance of veggies and fruit.
(Squash, Corn, Okra, Watermelon, Peas, and more) I can't wait till harvest!!

Love you all,
Tina
