    A Fall Garden with the Kids

    July 23, 2018 /

    The idea of a fall garden has always been just a little intimidating to me.

    It seems like there are a million different methods to garden and a million different ways to start your garden. We've been experimenting with starting new planting space using tarps. Here's what we've learned so far.

    Everything changes in just a matter of a week or two during the season of spring. One day the grass might be patchy and thin, and a few days later it looks like it hasn't been cut in weeks. The trees only flower briefly before fruit begins to grow, and everything that was brown quickly turns to green.

    There are a lot of different aspects to planning a garden. There were a few I had nearly been afraid to tackle up until this last week. Seed starting dates, frost dates, and how much to plant in order to feed our family for a year... all things that seemed somewhat elusive to me until now! Praying that our plans this year provide us with our best garden yet!
