Agriculture Anyone..........

So we have come full circle. When we first came to live with my parents we came just in time to do a little gardening and harvesting with my mom. Now, the kids get to experience the planting and weeding process that yields all the crops in the end. We would have tried to do this even if we were not living here but it has been good to learn from an old pro. So maybe next year we can do it for ourselves in our own home (God willing)........The kids have really enjoyed learning how to garden and watching things grow. They loved learning how to can and make sauces, relish and jelly and then getting to see all the shelves fill up with the foods they made. It was also quite helpful for me to be able to use this as part of our science for home school (which has been very difficult to do given our circumstances). It is very rewarding when you get to see the fruit of your labor. Maybe there is a lesson in this for us too........Here are some pics of the kids sowing their seeds...........

The kids helped plant tomatoes, onions, beans, corn, lettuce, spinach, squash, zucchini, cucumbers, broccoli, peppers and carrots. We will have a lot of work to do come harvest time!!
