Success!

So this post has little to do with Chloe (alright, nothing to do with Chloe), but I am so proud and have to share! Back in March, I tilled the ground, worked in some compost, and then planted some tiny little seeds in our backyard. And now…

My garden is growing! And producing! And it is so fun!

This is a tiny little bean! Can you see it?

True story: when my seedlings first started growing, I forgot what I planted where and did not know what was a seedling and what was a weed. So, my garden got overgrown with weeds! Boo! Since the garden is all organic though (with homemade compost), I couldn’t use weed killer. But, we mulched with grass clippings, and it took care of those pesky weeds! Hooray! I do have some white butterflies that keep nibbling on my broccoli and cauliflower, but there is enough for all of us! As I picked fresh vegetables and herbs, I felt a little like an early pilgrim (in my head at least). And all I could think was, “Thank you Lord for this bountiful harvest.” Kind of silly, but I am really amazed at the life that was created from packages of tiny little seeds. Yay for new life!
