"For God has given us rich brown soil, the rain and sunshine too." I always see this song as I flip through the LDS Children's songbook but I don't think I've ever heard the melody. For our garden, the Hanks Family might have to add the "rich brown soil"...and the rain...but southern Utah will definitely provide the sunshine.My yard has been begging for a garden ever since we moved into this house last year. There is a raised patch of dirt in the corner of our yard that just screams "Plant something!"
(don't be fooled by this questionable piece of our property. It will be TRANSFORMED when it is time to transport the plants).We started today by sowing our seeds in some soil. The kids helped and were so excited to be involved. Noah informed me that he will only eat the cucumbers and we'll have to give away the tomatoes, squash, and peppers. We'll see. The kids are excited about the pumpkins that we will hopefully harvest in the fall.
We'll keep you updated on our successes and failures as we take on this summer project.

I'm jealous of your patch of dirt. Perfect place for a garden! Good luck with your project, that has been on our minds lately as well. Keep us updated! Had that baby yet?
Good luck! I am planting one at my parents and my thumb is NOT green. I hope yours is! When is that baby due?
I am looking forward to the transformation! We love that little song.
I am getting induced on the 31st if I don't go before then. I'm dilating and everything looks good so far. We're excited!
Great idea with the garden...I am excited to see those pumpkins, and I am sure that Dad will enjoy the tomatoes!
