How does your garden grow


It's only been a week, maybe less, since we planted our garden and already we have sprouts!

I can't explain the excitement of seeing the first fruits of our labor! I was terribly worried that we planted the seeds to far into the soil and that still hasn't completely diminished since the area where the sprouts are popping is the area that the catastrophe happened.

The catastrophe happened while Lex (11 yrs) was planting her seeds, she tripped and spilled her seeds over a wide area, essentially mixing some carrot and radish seeds. So what is growing could be carrots, radishes or maybe some Cadish (carrot and radish combined)? Either way, there is something growing in our garden and all of us are excited to see what comes.

Since the birth of our little sprouts, the kids have taken an even bigger interest in the garden and as a family we are learning a little more everyday about what it takes to grow a garden in such a moody climate for weather.

We are keeping our fingers crossed that more will begin to sprout over the next few days!
