View of garden from the deck.
Lucy just wanted to see the pictures on the camera. Very helpful.
The kids did an awesome job playing King of the Hill and Dirt Ball Toss.
Cameron got out his tiny pink shovel to get the job done!
There was so much dirt, even Serpil and Karen helped out. Obviously, Leigh was the Foreman.
Hunter was a machine! That kid can move some serious dirt.
Eventually the excitement of A GARDEN! wore off and the kids returned to their usual fighting/loving each other routine.
Deane was the master gardener. Cameron, the horticulturist, was trying to determine if this was squash or canteloupe since he pulled out the name sticks to play stick toss. I guess we'll find out in another month or so.
Deane dug the holes and Jackie potted. They really had a good system going on here.
The end result: tomatoes, squash (or canteloupe), strawberries, cucumber, peas, beans, watermelon, basil, cilantro.
A picture of the garden today! The peas, beans & watermelon have all sprouted from seeds. The kids are equally as excited as Deane and I. 
One garden complete; time to move on to another. Cameron helped Mr. Chad move the dirt. The Messicks planted carrots, sweet potatoes, okra, eggplant & tomatoes. Now all we need is to buy a cow and some chickens together!
