Our Garden

Two weeks ago during my weekend message I mentioned our new family project- a garden. Our project continues. The area has been marked off in the yard. Seeds have been selected like corn, sunflowers, cucumbers (Diana likes pickles), carrots, and peas (my favorite veggie in the whole world!).

We also purchased three cherry tomato plants which are growing quite happily in a pot in my dining room along with Eric's selection of two hot pepper plants. He told Diana that the way to make the peppers hot was to shout and yell at them everyday. All this yelling is supposed to(according to Eric's story) make the peppers mad which in turn will make them taste hot.

We can tell everytime Diana is in the dining room because we hear her shouting at the peppers! "You crazy peppers! blah blah blah..."

Maybe we aren't the best gardener/farmer role models for her...
