Today was a beautiful day to work in the garden, we weeded and planted several different vegetables. Here is a list of what was planted:

• Contender Green Beans
• Golden Wax Beans
• Royalty Purple Pod Beans
• Orange Cushaw Winter Squash
• Golden Bantam 12-Row Corn
• Raspberry Lyanna Tomato
• White Bush Scallop Squash

The White Bush Scallop is "a very ancient native American heirloom squash, grown by the Northern Indians for hundreds of years, this type was depicted by Europeans back to 1591, and one of the best tasting and yielding varieties still around today! Great fried and baked." information taken from Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company, Mansfield, Mo.  


Tomato Raspberry Lyanna is said to be "simply stunning, raspberry-pink are of medium size. Firm flesh is very sweet and richly flavored. This variety from Russia  is perfect looking, one of the prettiest tomatoes we have grown."
 We planted these seeds directly into the ground instead of starting them in small containers to be re-planted. We want to see how well they do by using this technique. We pray that this garden will be to God's glory and we will harvest a lot of produce from it.
A little side note about today: We had 3 visitors today and they seemed real intent on staying around the garden the whole time we were there. These critters were Pit Bulls with one male dog the leader of the pack! I can't say we were ever at ease with them hanging around, even though they obviously were friendly enough. I find it is best to error on the side of  caution when it comes to animals running lose.
