Garden Update...

For those of you who read my blog a few months ago, you know we planted a garden. We asked you to help us pray the the Lord would bless our efforts, since we have never done this before. Well, He has!!! Last night we had green beans for supper that we planted ourselves, and some squash out of our friends garden. It was so exciting to know that it was something we planted and that God grew for us. The Lord is really blessing. We have stuff coming up left and right. The only thing that is not doing good is the peas. They got so high and have just kind of died off. We also do not have a tiller so the weeds are trying to take over in between the rows. We are trying our best to keep the weeds away from the plants themselves, but it is not an easy job!We are looking forward to trying the rest of the food when it is ready. I was out there this morning and we have a tomato turning red. It will be ready soon. Ashley is excited about the 2 little watermelon that are growing, she loves watermelon. Here are a few pics I took this morning so you could see the progression of the garden.
