OUR GARDEN

This year in Young Women's our Young Women's president felt very strongly that the girls needed to learn how to grow a garden. She asked all the girls to plant something, whether it be one little pot on the porch or a whole garden in the back yard. She felt it was important for the girls to learn how to become self sufficient in these time. Jordan and I have tried a few years for a garden and last year was the best we had done, and all we really got was A VERY LOT of cherry tomatoes. This year I am hoping that we will do much better. We planted purple onions, yellow onions, green onions, golden bell peppers, radishes, lettuce, carrots, artichoke, cherry and big tomatoes, cucumber, zucchini squash, parsley, chives, and dill. I was amazed we got all that and only spent $26. Wish us luck because I am hoping we can use this food all summer. We will hopefully be getting a lemon tree soon also.
