Dirt under my fingernails and a song in my heart-Coaxing nature to feed my family and the community

O Lord my God,

When I in awesome wonder Consider all The works Thy Hand hath made,

Then sings my soul,

My Saviour God, to Thee,

How great Thou art!

How great Thou art!

Lyrics ~ Carl Boberg, 1859 - 1940

English Translation ~ Stuart K. Hine, 1899 -


This song often erupts from deep within me when I experience the majestic wonder if God's creation. We started our garden in March, 2011 with Great Hope and Expectation! You are invited to follow along on our journey and learn along with us as we live and learn.

While developing our garden we are working through an Amanda Benett unit study "Gardening" and I will be posting assignments from that study as an example for my children.

Meanwhile... In My Garden



Our big project this week was preparing poles for our Blue Lake Pole Beans to grow up.  We found a bamboo patch on a vacant lot near the highway and gathered a LOT of bamboo.










  My husband got creative and built a "structure" for the tomatoes too!
