Garden

This spring, we cleared up our back garden.
Before: it was terribly overgrown.
While clearing out, we put in a garden swing.
One of Abby's knots. She has been getting very good at knot-tying!


Early signs of progress.

Abby and Ben were a big help.
Finally, the finished garden. We planted strawberries, green beans, peas, beets, pumpkins, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers and cantaloupes.
We used some of the branches we cut to make a little area for the kids to walk in around the swing.

Mud pies!

Getting clean!

A cook out.
The kids like to help out with the watering.

Enjoying the birds early one morning.
Lots of hauling to do.
