Living here in Queen Creek, we have an advantage of planting crops in the spring and fall. Our spring garden produced corn, peas, bell peppers, carrots, lettuce, onions, & squash X30. Who knew that one squash plant could feed an entire family? Well, we love squash and I’ll just say that I emptied the (2) seed packets of all their content. We had enough squash to feed the entire ward plus put away for their year supply.
This season, we are trying to grow some corn, tomatoes, cucumber, peas, Watermelon, squash, Zucchini, Cantaloupe, and Pumpkin.
Growing a garden is so much easier than I remember growing up. We were in charge of the weeding. My sisters (you know the two) would tell you that I always used the excuse that I was allergic to the weeds and would get out of it. But trust me; I did my share of weedin’. In fact, I think that I may have had to weed my row and tidy up my sister’s rows of any extra weeds that they missed (it was surprisingly a lot). Yes, I was the Cinderella in my time… but I did end up with the Prince and that’s all that matters.

Congrats on your blog Brookie!
You are so full of it, Your row was half the size of ours, and we still had to do most of yours! We may not have done the neatest job like you would have, but trust us... you got off the hook ;)
Love ya!
I must admit, I am quite impressed! There aren't very many people that go through the trouble to garden anymore. It is such a money-saver, though! Plus you have perfect punishment for naughty children.
I LOVE your blog! Soooo cute. I've been waiting for you to join your sisters and figured they would talk you into it sooner or later. (I love keeping up with them). Your pirate pictures of Shelby are the cutest. She's getting so big.
I'm so jelous! I wish we had room for a garden. I love to garden and then to eat all the yummy food! Cute pics of shelby to!
and I have to say that I totally remember you being "allergic" when it was time to weed. ha ha ha. but your rows probably were the neatest, I'll give you that!
