Planting a Garden
This week I planted a garden. I pulled the weeds, turned the soil, dug the holes and planted the seeds and tiny plants. More than once the thought of chemicals ran through my mind. Wouldn’t it be easier to just spray it down and get rid of the weeds? The thought of machines also crossed my mind. How easy the ground turned up last year when we borrowed a neighbor’s gas-powered tiller.
It’s a lot of work to plant a garden the hard way, but it felt good to let my little ones dig around in the dirt without me worrying about them getting sick.
Now we’ll see what comes up in the next few weeks. Pumpkins, green beans, cucumbers, potatoes, and lettuce. The green pepper and tomato plants look like they’re taking good to their new home. Time to grow!
