If you’ve been to our house you know that we don’t have a very big yard. And we really wanted to plant a lot of vegetables this year. Our church, on the other hand, has a ton of space that isn’t being used. Jared asked if we could plant a garden there and they said we could, so we Jared and his dad, or Papa as we call him, began the process last fall. They dug up the ground.
Then Papa dug it up again this spring to get the ground ready for seeds and plants. 
Routine maintenance on the tiller. 
Jared is digging to find the water line. 
This little seeder makes things go a little faster and makes even rows. 
I think Papa could do this all day long. It’s too bad he doesn’t live closer. We’d put him in charge of the garden for sure and he’d be good at it.
There was a lot of discussion about how and what to plant. I’m still not sure what was all planted. 
Here is Gavin with Jared and Rebecca. He told me that he’s “been farming for three years now.” He’s a Swanhorst, so it probably just comes naturally to him. He was pretty excited to come and help out. 
Rebecca got to help plant a few onions as well.
It’s a little earlier to plant just about everything out here, but not according to Jared’s friend Tom, who every year plants a massive garden and people who see it wish they knew how to do what he does. His secret? Plant everything now…at least that is what he does and it works.

We didn’t plant everything. I think we planted peas, broccoli, corn, onions, spinach, and I don’t know what else. I lost track. We’re going to wait a little longer to plant the warm weather crops. You think it was all work and no play? Just wait for my next post. Our church was rockin’. So until next time….
