The Prophet Said to Plant a Garden!

"The prophet said to plant a garden so that's what we'll do

For God has given rich brown soil, the rain and sunshine too.
And if we plant the seed just right and tend them carefully,
Before we know good things will grow to feed our family."

"We plant the seeds to fill our needs, then plant a few to spare,
And show we love our neighbors with the harvest that we share.
Oh won't you plant a garden too, and share the many joys
A garden brings in health and love to happy girls and boys. "

(LDS Children's Songbook p237)

We have had a blast with our garden this year. I am sure there will be more pictures before the summer is over. So far we have peas, carrots, cherry tomatoes, basil, mint, and sunflowers. We have tons of big tomatoes that we are waiting to turn red. And we have softball sized watermelon, so hopfully those will grow well also.
