For awhile there, it seemed pointless to plant a garden since we were going to be moving. After all, what's the point of going through all the work just to move? But we couldn't stand the thought of NOT having a garden either. So as summer started to pass by, Paige got to work and planted most of our garden. If we sold the house, then someone else would benefit from all the hard work - and we were okay with that. After all, isn't that what the Mormon pioneers did along the Mormon Trail? Plant a garden and let someone else harvest behind you.
As things have turned out, our house hasn't sold and we're still here ... and thus, we get to harvest. We've brought in more raspberries than ever before, squash, tomatoes, and more. And this year, it's the watermelon's turn to grow up the ladder. Take that Mr. Cantaloupe!
At the end of the season, we'll clean things out and ... perhaps spend the winter months planning next year's garden too.
