Brandon stopped by today for a visit and ended up helping us with some Friday work :). Earlier this morning I did a couple more hours of work in the garden, even got more blisters from using my machete! I got everything watered and cleared more space for some special green beans that Trixy had and are suppose to grow 5'-6' tall! with beans up to 3' long! I can't wait to see that! The way things grow here though, I wouldn't be surprised! The rest of the garden is growing by leaps and bounds! Keep in mind that the first life I saw was on Monday, they poked their heads out...
... and today, Friday, 5 days later the beans look like this!
The peas also are growing BEAUTIFULLY...
... and the Corn also is very impressive for being only ONE WEEK from when the seeds were placed in the ground! I think if I sat and watched them I could see them grow!
Last night Mercy brought me some plants from her garden!! It was so sweet, along with a bunch of other produce for us to eat she gave us 3 pepper plants for the garden! I have been so blessed by this garden already, and it's only been a week! I will be sure to keep you all updated as the progress continues!

How fun to "see your garden grow"! Lyle was wondering how warm it is there now. You stated it was getting hotter every day. You are in our prayers. Lyle and Becky
Hey tabby they all looks amazing! I'm not used to seeing you gardening in January:) but you could almost grow a garden here in ND right now with how nice it's been!:). This week we are suppose to get snow though so hopefully we will get to snowmobile some!:) I love you so much, Jody
I'm amazed at how fast everything is taking off. Not exactly black ND dirt like you are used to but I guess if you have warmth and brown dirt it all works. Love Dorothy
