Gardening Week 2

We started out our second day of gardening by taking a soil sample. Tori and Garrett did a great job of getting the soil we needed!

We learned all about the different components you need to have great soil for our plants!

Our next task- adding lots of compost into the soil in our garden plot. Garrett did a great job helping Daddy get the compost in our wheel barrow!

And then Tori did an equally great job helping Daddy push the wheelbarrow! (I love that they have little wheelbarrows for the kids!)

What a cute kid!

Once we got the compost mixed into our soil, we got to start planting our garden. We were able to get about a fourth of it planted today!

Tori and Garrett were such awesome helpers!

Our last activity- harvesting! Even though we are just planting our garden, the people that work at the gardens have tons of things they have been growing and are now ready to be picked!

Tori found some carrots!

Today was awesome! Not only did we learn a lot and get tons of things done in our own garden, but we came home with carrots, lettuce, radishes, beets, rhubarb, chard, and strawberries!

And also these absolutely beautiful flowers! Feeling really blessed right now!
