Garden

Kevin is our gardener.  I do most of the indoor cleaning, cooking, homeschooling, and caring for the kids. He takes care of the outside, and it is a big job!  He has help from the kids for some stuff (like chicken care) and he recruited 3 of our younger children to put in the garden this year.

We decided a small garden was wise given that the baby arrives soon and we'll be especially tired this summer.

So if I remember correctly, he planted tomatoes, green beans, cucumbers, zucchini, and green peppers.  We've planted melons, watermelon, squash, lettuce, sweet potatoes, and carrots in the past, with mixed results.  Well, the sweet potatoes have always been a success, but planting them is extra work and they take a lot of space.  So we'll skip sweet potatoes this year.

As of yesterday, all the plants were up!
