(Ben) "Ewww....it's pink."

A Couple weeks ago, I decided I wanted to start a garden. It isn't that big, but for practice...It's the perfect size. So I tilled the ground and got it all ready to be planted and then the precious Pollock family brought me over some starter plants.:) Thank you Pollock family!


The designated spot for planting.



Making rows for the plants.


The rows are done.


After a couple days, the plants started to look real nice. And that is where I am at right now. :)
I hope you all enjoyed the pictures.
In Christ,
Rachel.
