Planting time

It's that time of year again...time to plant the garden!  Hopefully the last frost is in the past and our newly planted garden will grow in the warmth of the Alaskan summer sun. Saturday was garden planting day, and what a beautiful day it was!  We planted potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, romanesko, carrots, lettuce, radishes, swiss chard, zucchini, yellow squash, and various herbs. 

The kids are such great helpers and they love getting their hands in the soil...just like Steve!  With so many hands the work is easy.

Since we are going to be moving before the harvest season is over, we invited Danny and Kassy to help with the garden this summer and enjoy the harvest in the fall.  Danny, Kassy, and their two boys will be renting our house while we are in the Philippines.   So they came to help us plant...

Once the planting is finished then there is plenty of watering to do.  Saturday was a rather warm day for planting so those little plants needed  lots of moisture.  Kassy and I will be working together at keeping the garden watered and weeded, along with the help of the kids...   Summertime is so much fun and the many things that keep us so busy!
