Okay..so it is only a vegatable GROW BOX..but for Vegas, in the heat of 
summer..looks mighty good... if I do say so.. 
Amy, the lovely daughter that she is...and RS President.. got me lined up to teach a class on Grow Boxes and Vegatable Gardening in Las Vegas..so, with some handouts from LDS.ORG on the importance of gardening and growing your own food..and along with some local information..we proceeded going thru the steps and even did some thinning of the beets, carrotts, and radishes..!..Provident Living in Action!
The Sisters hit PAY DIRT..winning 3 large bags of PAY DIRT..as door prizes..if you will look closely at the bag, you will see the first Relief Society using it in their gardens...okay..maybe not RS sisters..but they are women!
After some instructions and a Q&A period on materials, and "how to's" we had great smoothies and home made muffins from food storage items..bless those RS sisters for always providing DESSERT...all in all a nice cooler early summer evening was spent together in learning and sharing from one generation to the next..
I hope that Amy's Grandpa was smiling about how small the "produce" field was..after all the years he grew and sold produce from horse and wagon up the roads of Utah from Provo to Park City to the miners etc.. Uncle Jesse, his son, in
his late 80's, carries on the tradition in Provo, with a large 1/4 acre garden each year!
Nonetheless..following the promptings of the Prophets and doing what you can ..where you are "planted"..is what is important and where the blessings will come.
Thanks for sharing the evening..call anytime for help . Lynn.
