The growth continues! Nearly the full 'homestead crew' was over today to finish up the last load of soil and plantings. As a full yard and a half rounded out the lettuce bed and the three sisters bed, the seed packets sprang open and flung their contents into the precious dirt. I was excited to show Small Thing that the onions she had planted were already rooted and standing tall, as were the peas and cucumbers we planted. In a quick inspection of the garden we noticed that her pumpkin had sprouted and was poking through the soil. 
It is encouraging to see her take to gardening like I did as a kid, it's fun and dirty. Seeing something you planted grow and change each day makes it a brand new discovery every time you see it.Right now I am at a loss for words as to what I really want to say and express. There is simply too much going on that I can't seem to focus on this one task and complete a simple blog entry. Oh well, here are a few photos of the garden to hold me over till the next post.
