A Small Homestead

Welcome to my blog about our adventures on and away from our modest family homestead. We are a young family trying to raise as much of our own food as possible and still enjoy life while holding down full time jobs and work two small home based businesses. Life can get hectic and challenging but at the end of the day we have most importantly each other, good food on our table and a roof over our heads.

A Garden of His Very Own.....

I decided to turn my herb garden box into a garden for my son.  He was watering the grass in our driveway calling it his garden.  Since I am not a fan of the grass in our driveway and don't want it to flourish, I gave up my herb garden area so he can have a real garden to tend to.  He planted peas, turnip, carrots, broccoli and yellow beans.

Before he planted his garden we stirred in some mature compost......



Ready for planting.....


He planted his selection of seeds.....


Now the waiting begins....I hope he has a great harvest from his little garden.

'til next time!

  1. Sweet! You are a good mom. I'm sure giving up the herb garden was tough. :-)
