Our church has a gardening program and we were fortunate enough to be apart of. It was so beautiful to see the selfless help we received. The following pictures show you the progression of our very first Rez Garden!
We had loads and loads (and still do!) of gravel in our yard.
The first thing we did was borrow the tiller from the church. This kind brother is showing Jon how to use the tiller.
My wonderful friend Angilina took care of Clara. This is her daughter- Clara luvs her and misses her!
Here is a good pic of the inside of our 2 bedroom/1 bath home.
Here I am hauling rocks out of our garden!

I neeeed water!
Tilling our earth
We had to call the elders to help us remove our neighbors satellite. The people who lived here before us allowed them to use the yard to put their satellite. It was cement folks! Luckily 2 elders who live in a city with a population of 50 and 100 were here to help!
If you look at a map this is where I live.
More tilling!

We also had the nicest Missionary couple to help us. We layed manure and sawdust.
My cheering fan!
We had more blocks of cement in our yard :(
Don't worry, I had a ton of waterbottles, doughnuts, breakfast burritos, orange juice and pizza. I like to spoil my helpers!
This is some of the gravel we pulled from out of our yard.
Our Apple Tree :)
I also decided to plant a raised vegetable bed. Lettuce needs shade and this was the perfect spot.
I planted this the day before I left to Florida for a month!

For a while my vegetable bed looked dead. But.....

Look at my corn now!
I love our mini corn field! I get compliments all the time. It's truly an amazing garden and I am so thankful to my Church for all of their help and free supplies :)
The pumpkin plant is growing SO much! We have eaten lettuce and basil so far.

I am so impressed with you! I have plenty of space for a garden, but have no idea where to start. Its too late for this season, as it is already starting to get cold, but next year I am super excited to get going on a garden. You are quite the inspiration!!
And, as always, Clara is gorgeous!!
You're doing a fantastic job with your garden. It looks lush
and beautiful. Meanwhile, my
garden here in Florida is languishing. I could take
some lessons from you! Congratulations on a job
well done!
