Summer Bucket List: Grow a Garden

August 29, 2012 By Jackie 2 Comments

This year one of the things on our summer bucket list was to grow a garden.

When we first planted our garden we had no idea that we would have a drought this summer.

We had planted it at just the right time and it did really well, for a while. While we have enjoyed fresh produce it isn’t the amount we are used to. However, I think we have all enjoyed growing a garden this year regardless.

I think gardening, knowing where our food comes from, and digging in the dirt are great learning experiences for children.

Did you grow a garden this year?

    I always enjoy reading your garden updates. What type of potatoes did you plant this year? And were they trenched?

      Thank you, Rachel! I planted a couple of varieties of regular potatoes and some sweet potatoes. I am not sure what you mean by “trenched”. I just kept adding dirt around the regular potatoes. For the sweet potatoes I built up a big hill and planted them in it. It was kind of like a moat. 🙂
