Me: "But, I am going to have to do everything, and I am already babysitting two kids this summer. And you are starting your practice, and we are already so busy. Can't we just buy some canned goods and call it good this year? We did just buy our wheat and our emergency water buckets, doesn't that count for the Stake's goal of building our supply by one more month this year?"
LG: "No way. C'mon it will be really good for the kids. I will get out there and weed with them every Saturday."
Me: "Alright, if you promise that you'll get out there with them. I don't need one more thing right now."
LG: "I promise."
Score: LG - no weeding Me - 3 weedings The kids - 10 minutes of weeding
The Garden - growing amazingly without enough weeding
And, I must add. LG did all of the rototiller, so he's not in the doghouse because of the weeding. But, he better help me put some of this stuff up or he will be.
The late beans and corn to work around our Utah vacation.
15 tomato plants
The raspberries are starting well.
It's too bad we will probably move before they ever flower.
Pears
Apples
My yard is like a veritable Garden Of Eden.......for the fire ants, anyway.
ReplyDeleteGood job Alice and Family! I'm glad to see that you'll have something to eat with your SPAMwiches in case of an apocalypse.
I'm jealous -- I would love to have fresh tomatoes and a few other things. I SO don't have a green thumb and I cannot even picture Matt working in a garden! LOL
ReplyDeleteKudos!! Was that garden there at Bella's party? I must have missed it. It looks great!
ReplyDeleteThat is so great. I am such a slacker when it comes to a garden.
ReplyDeleteI'm back...had to tell you I have bestowed yet another blog award on you. That's what you get for being one of my favorite bloggers! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your garden.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that you made time with your vacation and all. My Dad would trick me into planting, watering, weeding the garden. He wouldn't really trick me... but his size nine giving me the boot was great motivation. Ü

Looking good! keep up the good weeding!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I love all of your fruit that was planted. So, you are planning on moving? How about my way??
ReplyDeleteRaspberries? Really? Hmmm.... share?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you got stuff to grow regardless of the weeding. I pretty much gave up on growing produce since I don't get to it before the bugs and it just sort of dies on the vine.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! Ours looks like a forest. We really have to dig to find our produce. Next year, more space between the plants.
