Hello to all you green gardening people! Around this time of year all of us farmers are getting our gardens ready ( which you probably already know.) All spring and summer long, we plant, weed, and harvest. The good thing that this brings us is food. The bad thing that it gives us is aching hands arms, legs, feet ....... well you get the idea.

             Even though the work goes faster when the whole family is working doesn't mean that it is more fun ." I'm tired!" "I need a drink!" is what the children all say.Gardening can be a good family time while everyone is working and having fun. You think that it is to good too be true.One minute all the kids are acting all good then the next minute,( like you predicted ) there is fighting and yelling and throwing dirt at people.Once everyone is calmed down they go back to planting or weeding.Everyone has a job:

This is what the little boy does.



          When it comes to gardening it sure takes a lot out of you. Like harvesting okra, you need a lot of Band-Aids near,planting can get a little too messy, and tracing down kids will be tiring.( That last part is for when you are as a family ) My point is to be prepaired when you come out to work.
