My husband has been very productive this spring. Here is our updated garden. After studying Botany last summer with the boys and planting our first garden we have learned a lot! The first thing we learned was that a 12X12 garden is not near big enough for us, so we had to plant a second garden last year. This year, after watching the natural flow of water in our pasture, we uprooted the old garden and choose a location that is 75X50. We hope it is big enough.
This month we saw the first fruits of our labor. Our corn was sprouting well. Shortly after, many other rows began to show their precious fragile growths. 
We also planted indoors to test which method proved more fruitful.
Another avenue that we have ventured due to the massive rise in our grocery bill has been the production of our own eggs and poultry. We are just starting on this also so we have lots to learn this year as these sweet baby chicks grow.
That about raps it up for what we did this spring. Well, not exactly. We had a massive hail storm the other night that demolished the entire garden. I will post pics of the hail when I can find them lol. Had to use my old camera.
