Everything's coming up....vegetables! :)

I can't believe how well the garden is doing, despite hardly any rainfall!  I thought I would share some pictures and offer an opportunity to help with this wonderful mission project.  I sent out a request on the church Facebook page for garden watchers. I was hoping we would get families to sign up for a week of watching, weeding and harvesting.  So, to set a good example, I signed my family up for the first week!  An hour of weeding makes a big difference, as you can see in the picture.  (I weeded the radishes and carrots on the left side of the picture.)   

We have a beautiful garden growing with sweet corn,  4 different types of potatoes, onions, tomatoes, green beans, beets, carrots, lettuce, spinach, radishes, cucumbers, summer squash, eggplant, peppers and muscatine melons.  (I may have forgot a few things!)

Here are some pictures of how things are coming along:

 

The pepper plants are small but the peppers aren't!

Doc's pole beans

      I am amazed by the miracle that the tender leaves of a lettuce plant can push through dry, cracked ground!

Not sure, but I think this is where we spilled a variety of lettuce seeds!

Sweet Corn

Nice looking tomatoes, despite the dry weather!

A lot of potatoes!



And I found the most perfect radish!  (Have I told you how much I love radishes?)


Until next time, keep praying for rain!  If you'd like to help with the garden, just contact the church. 
Thank you!
