How does the Garden grow?

Uncle Timothy arrived bright and early this morning to till a garden in our backyard. We stepped off what we estimated to be about 15' x 20'. Eight hours later we pulled out the measuring tape to check the final dimensions...we ended up at 25' x 37.5'! So, we are going to have a slightly larger garden...with room for flowers! :-) Tim was so awesome and worked so hard. A job that we were all thinking would only take an hour or two ended up taking all day. He tilled 7 times and raked twice to remove all of the sod. His perseverance and diligence were such a great example to the boys. They have been talking about the garden for weeks now and today Uncle Tim made it a reality. Next stop...seed store! Lil J found this caterpillar in the dirt and Michael was the only one brave enough to pick it up. He is definitely my animal/nature lover! Lil J was showing me how strong he was as he tugged and pulled on broken roots. A big job all done!
