Going back to June 2012.....

Yes, that is a while ago.  We did a Sunday School project and we studied water, soil and seeds.  The Sunday School kids did soil samples which we sent off to Virginia Tech for analysis.  The results we got were really good.  Lots of numbers and analysis but Farmer Hanson is happy!  All of his hard work over the past 5 years to enrich the soil has paid off.  The kids watered the garden and then created and planted their own garden of beans.  Totally fun!








We used a basic kit from Home Depot to set up a small garden area and then with help from Dads we moved the soil to the garden location and began our hard work!









We tried to protect our bean garden but some rabbits seemed to love the growing plants even with our makeshift protection.  We keep tending it in hopes we get some beans but I'm not sure that will happen this year.
