John finally tilled our garden. I was so excited! Gardening is something I have fell in love doing. 
I love working in the dirt and getting ready to plant all the vegetables we love to eat.

 
The picture below show our blackberry bushes that are about three years old. We started these from our friend Crystal who told me to take them home, dig a hole and plant. That's it!

 
Below we planted ten blackberry (thorn less) from our existing black berry bushes. I hope we get a lot of blackberries this year because I'm going to make jam for the first time.
 
 
Another picture of our garden all tilled up and ready for planting.
