Garden Girls

You might remember this post a while back about our seeds that we planted. Well, here is the fruit of our labor (pun intended); even though we have not really seen any "fruit" yet. We are still excited about how the plants have grown and we hope to be able to harvest some veggies in the coming weeks. :) The girls have totally loved this process and they love to help water and take care of the garden. It has been a wonderful learning experience for them so far!



Our Green Bean plants

Our Cucumber Plants

This is the only Green Pepper plant that survived in the transplant. Not sure why, but we might get something from it; hopefully!

Some of our tomato plants

This is a tomato plant Grandpa Miller brought us from Florida...it has 2 tomatoes on it already! :)

Some more of our tomato plants (a different variety from the others)

Garden Girls & Daddy :)

I have to preface this post and say that I have a "brown thumb." However, my mother, my mother-in-law, and my hubby all have green thumbs so I am hoping it will trickle down to me and the girls some how. :) I too desire to have a green thumb and I especially desire to be able to grow a veggie garden. Ever since Brian and I have been married I have been telling him that once we had some land I would love to grow a garden, so I am thinking now is a better time then ever. :)

A couple weeks ago the girls and I planted some seeds in the house (cucumber, tomatoes, green beans, green peppers, & watermelon) and just this week Brian built a raised bed outside and transplanted everything. Because of my brown thumb, I ask for many prayers that our veggies will actually produce a harvest! :) Can't wait for some yummy home grown tomatoes, cucumbers, and everything else! Enjoy the pictures of this process, updates will be coming in the future....







Daddy & Sierra went to Lowe's and got all the wood and top soil for making the raised bed


Daddy certainly has lots of helpers around here these days! 




They worked until darkness set in - Here they are hanging the trellis for the cucumbers and green beans
The next day, Sierra & Daddy transplanted all our seedlings

Now we just need to water it and pray over it every day. :)
