First Fruits

On April 3, Andrew and I set out to be gardeners. Andrew rented a tiller and tilled two garden strips. I proceeded to get as much grass out as possible; we added manure and planted our first garden. Yesterday,

May 25, we had our first fruits. I now have a slight understanding of the passages in scripture which talk about first fruits; they are precious. In these pictures you can see our two rows or garden. There are squash, zucchini, cucumbers, tomatoes, green beans, and bell peppers. The cucumbers haven't began bearing fruit yet. We picked the two zucchini; and are waiting for our squash to catch up. So far this has















been a very fun experience and it will save us money on our produce bill. Also, the marigolds you see they protected our tomato plants from nematods(that may not be how you say/spell it) when they were young. Those bugs like to eat the roots of tomato plants, but marigolds keep them off the tomato plants. I think it's very neat how God designed things.
