The Garden Chronicles: Potatoes and Strawberries

My guest poster today is Abby, who wrote a story about her afternoon in the first person point of view for her FIAR language lesson.

I planted a garden this afternoon. We gathered all of our tools, seeds, and plants and our bucket. We walked to the garden. On another day we planted cabbage. But on this day we planted strawberries, onions, and potatoes. First, we dug a hole, not too far down, then we put the strawberry plant inside. We patted the dirt beside the plant. Then it will grow. We dug a hole and put the onion in it and we patted the dirt
down. We put one or two potatoes in a hole and patted the dirt down. We toted bucket after bucket of water and gave the plants a drink. Then we stopped. It was tiring, but I could do it anyway.

After working in the garden, we came in and read The Wild Horses of Sweetbriar and Abby ate plum jam on bread while I read Island Boy by Barbara Cooney. She looked at our Usborne First Encyclopedia of Seas and Oceans while I read a chapter from Misty.

My husband brought us some Lindt for Lent, so I'm off to lie on the couch and eat bon-bons!
