Today Uncle Everett and Aunt Dot came up to visit. Everett brought all of his gardening tools to come help me get mine planted. He was so cute about it, it was raining but that didn’t deter him one bit. We set out in the rain to plant the tomatoes, as only he knows best. He was a little perplexed at my strange square foot gardening style, but said, “only one way to find out if they will grow.” He then mixed up a special brew of chemicals that are supposed to really get them growing, we planted them and then watered them with the secret brew. I could hear him sniffling a bit, as it was quite cold out, as well as raining on us. I thought to myself these are priceless moments that I hope never leave my mind. We went to lunch after we finished planting with Stacie, Rhett, Dot, Everett, Jodi, Olivia, and JT. Truly Time well spent.

That is a cool experience. It’s times like that that make us want to move back. I want my kids to have moments with their grandparents and aunts and uncles. I planted my garden last week, I used chicken manure for fertilizer. I think it will be hard to sell our house until the smell goes away. What kind of vegies did you plant? Did Uncle Everrett plant any cuc’s?

That looks great! It’s those simple moments when we work together that bonds are formed and treasured. Keep up the good work!

Del loves to grow tomatoes too. All you guys can get together and exchange tips and trials in growing tomatoes. Good Job. Priceless memory to share with Uncle Everett.
