Gardening at Grandpa and Grandma Hill's































Our family has had a chance to help Grandma and Grandpa Hill plant care for and harvest a garden this spring and summer. Jason and Grandpa did most of the work in early spring but we all have been able to weed plant and harvest some. Jason rigged the best watering system I have ever seen for a veggie garden. Grandpa is taking care of it primarily of course. It has been good for the kids to see the cause and affect and more importantly spend quality time with the grandparents. Relationships are built on shared experiences so they say. In the garden is corn, cucumbers, carrots, peas (300 plants), potatoes, zucchini, watermelon, and tomatoes. After we were done with the garden Grandma fed us brownies and fruit and Grandpa told us a story of when he was a boy and his pet bird Charlie. Good Times!

Wow! What an amazing garden. I love this time of the year. There is nothing like home grown produce!
