How does my garden grow?

"The Lord took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it" Genesis 2:15


The kids love working in the garden; I think it's a natural thing that children (and many adults) find pleasure in having a hand in the planting and nurture of a garden. We've finally had decent enough weather to put in a few cool-weather veggies. I got the garden tilled this past Friday and Jay was kind enough (with Merrilee's help on the tractor) to haul some composted manure from the neighbor's horses into my garden. Yesterday the kids planted some lettuce, sweet peas, and onion sets. It was a modest start, and of course, we had a light frost last night, but it seems the garden was unharmed. I love taking pictures of the kids at work in the garden, so these are just a few I have to share.
