Since moving to Wakeman, Sarah has been asking to plant a garden. Me being the black thumb I am, have been very apprehensive about starting this scary task. This summer, after much advice from our neighbors, friends, and nearby farmers, we decided to start a small garden. Sarah picked out carrots, beans, cucumbers, and peppers as our beginning crop. Daddy helped us prepare our garden space, and the girls both helped get the soil ready. Once our garden spot was ready, we worked into the night to measure, dig, plant, and water our new garden. Sarah is so proud, and can't wait to see how her veggies grow! If this little garden survives, we are hoping to expand next year to watermelon, pumpkin, lettuce and sweet corn. Yum!
