A Garden

Kasey decided that Jonathan is plenty old enough to learn about work, money & tithing, so Kasey came up with a plan to help Jonathan apply all three in real life. He pitched the idea to Jonathan about planting & tending a garden and then in few months when the vegetables were ready, he would buy them from Jonathan...also teaching Jonathan the art of negotiating. (Can you tell Kasey is a purchasing agent?) So off to the hardware store they went to purchase the seeds and the items they would need to prepare the garden. The deal is Jonathan has to plant the seeds, weed the garden, make sure it gets enough water, (all with his dad's help).
Jonathan decided to plant peas and carrots for his first round

Jonathan carefully plants each pea

Kasey helps cover the peas, while Jonathan moves on to planting the carrots

Jonathan has been out there everyday checking on his garden and finally...

The first signs of growth - peas
