The Fruits (and veggies) Of My Labor

Okay, well not my labor, really. The Elders Quorum came over Saturday morning as a service project and started this garden for us. We could have probably done it on our own, but having the Elders come and do it forced us in to it. Who knows if we ever would have done it if they hadn't come over and done it for us! They tilled the ground (only one sprinkler casualty) and added some nice soil. You have to add good soil out here because the dirt is so awful, nothing can grow in it. Except for weeds, of course. I couldn't let the EQ's service go to waste, so I went out that afternoon and got some plants. It's probably too late in the season for the plants to really get down to business but I thought I'd give it a shot. I got some bell peppers and cherry tomatoes (they taste like candy to me)! Tabby adores strawberries and I knew I wouldn't get away with having a garden with no strawberries in it. They are tough to grow, so we are crossing our fingers. Tabby checks on them every morning.
