Our First Garden...

Yesterday, we went out as a family, along with my in-laws help, to plant our first garden. We have never had a garden before and with the economy the way it is we decided to give it a try. A couple of the guys from church plowed the land up and got it ready for us. Neither Paul nor I had a clue what we were doing, but with help from my in-laws and a few people at church, we were able to get it started yesterday. We planted 3 rows of corn, 2 rows of peas, 2 rows of green beans, and 1 row of lettuce, tomatoes, and pepper plants. We still want to plant cucumbers, potatoes, watermelon, pumpkins, squash, okra, cabbage, and onions. Please pray along with us that the Lord will bless our efforts and give us a good turnout. It would be very disappointing if we didn't get much of anything. Below are just a few pictures I was able to sneak in.
