It took some help from family, to water and watch over our plot when we where away this summer.  It took many many night walks over to water it during the dry days.  It took days of me and my girls, hands and knees in the dirt, going after weeds.  It took nights of me walking over with my oldest boy to pick something fresh for supper.  It took more then that too but it gave so much more then just produce back.  The garden added family time and quality outdoor time to our summer.<\/div>\n<p>P.S.
