One of Steve's hobbies is planting our self reliant garden. Not only is it a hobby (a talent he learned from his dad) and a means of fresh produce, but it's main purpose was to help our children understand where all this yummy food comes from, (when Ethan was little he said carrots came from rabbits, that's when we started our first garden) AND to learn how to work. We planted corn, green beans, strawberries, red onions, zucchini, squash, tomatoes, peppers and lots of herbs.

Although, they might never know how it really is to harvest a garden, I grew up with a garden 15x this size that I "got" to learn how to work in, they are enjoying watching it grow and are still working on enjoying eating it.

Rachel walks out to it every day to see how her tomato plant is doing. It has 6 tomatos on it now. We have had a few Sunday meals with fresh green beans already harvested from our garden. Steve and the kids have done a great job and it looks beautiful.
