Planting the garden

 "Let's do this!"  He even brought his watering can.

Looking for what we want to get...

We found everything we needed.  =)

First, they had to dig up an old bush that was in the way.

Then, they had to spread the fertilizer.

Then, Paw Paw had to till the area for the garden.  (Notice Jonathan on the porch watching his every move!)

Next, Abigail helped him rake it out.

Here come the plants!

Abigail enjoyed helping make the holes.

 Jonathan wanted to help too!

Abigail planted cucumbers and tomatoes.

Jonathan planted watermelons.

Then, it was time to water what they planted.

Thanks Paw Paw Armstrong and Aunt Hillary!  =)
