My Garden Has Sprung, Along With Spring.
We are lovin' all the time outside right now, playing in the dirt, digging for treasure, finding worms for the chickens and just sitting and watching everything come to life with spring. Thank you God that Spring follows Winter, that was such a great idea on your part!!!
First I'll share some photos of my baby plants (many are seeds and haven't come up yet), and then below is my running list of veggies I've planted, we work on the sunny days and thank God for watering it for us on the rainny. Later on in the summer we will wish He would get His mega watering can out, but that seldom (read: NEVER) happens.

Lettuce
Kale
Green Beans (including the purple, green and yellow varieties)
Artichoke

I am still in the middle of planting season, so there will be more. I will update this garden post as I go for two reasons: to remember what to plant for next year, and so you can peek in and figure out what you may like to plant now-or someday down the road.
Which are your favourite home grown veggies to plant- or eat??? Tomatoes are mine (and yes I know tomatoes are fruits!! :), nothing is better than a fresh garden tomato. (The other veggies are close though)
All of the proceeds from purchasing items using any of my link affiliations (Powell's Books or Toms Shoes) will go to Living Water International a charity quenching global thirst and preaching the gospel. You can also donate directly if you would like. Thank you!!
Work and Play in the Garden
How does your garden grow? Ours grows with water, weeding, and watching. The boys enjoy helping me with their red wagon, they pretend to "harvest" weeds, and then bake them in the sun to kill them. These are all activities that I welcome, as they are becoming pretty rapidly semi-professional weeders. The progress the garden is making is good as well. There are currently TONS of green tomatoes just waiting to ripen up. I harvested variegated sage, pineapple sage and chamomile last week. I'll be sure to put some pictures of up of that process.
