We’ve had some great weather here in Vermont the past few days and we try to take the opportunity to enjoy it every chance we can! We decided to plant a garden again this year, although not quite as big as last years’. We were told the best day to plant was June 1st. We took 2 1/2 hours on June 3rd and, with Leah & Andrew’s help, we had everything planted! (Well, Andrew mostly just wanted to use his shovel, but they really did help put some seeds in the ground.) We did onions, potatoes, squash, corn, a few pumpkins, tomatoes, and some herbs. We learned some lessons from the church friend who helped us till the ground about bull thistles (very sharp miniscule thorns that will burn your skin) and poison parsnip—two plants we never dealt with in NC.
As soon as we’d finished planting, the rain came down! And it poured! We should hopefully have a good crop.
The next day we played! And we were silly.
