Now, I'm not sure that I mentioned this, but I am actually not a "gardener". My parents and in-laws had gardens, my husband and I have done some container gardening (for the sole purpose of making salsa!), but I would never have claimed to be a gardener. This has been a great learning experience for me and for all of us that haven't gardened much. So, why a garden? Good question! We talked a lot about it, and prayed a lot about it. It turns out that we ended up with the support of some people that really knew what they were doing!
If you are like me, and don't profess to have a green thumb, but you'd like to volunteer, we will hook you up with kind of a "garden mentor" to show you the ropes. After being involved with this project, helping with the planting, weeding and praying for rain...I get it! I see what all of you experienced gardeners get from this! And I must say, I think this is almost better, knowing we are doing it for others.
Now here are some pictures I snapped on my phone the other night while helping this week's garden volunteers do a little weeding...

I think Chad is excited about his new knowledge about gardening as I am! (Either that or he really likes potatoes!)

The lettuce is beautiful...not sure what this heat is doing for it, though! We'll see!

| The summer squash is in full bloom! |

| This pepper looked so funny! Who knew they would grow straight up! |
