We planted our garden yesterday: peas, carrots, pumpkin, watermelon, tomato plant and sunflowers.
The kids had a blast just digging in the dirt, scooping and watering. Even if our harvest is a big fat zero, it will still be worth it for the pure entertainment (and learning!) value that the kids are getting out of it.
Thank you so much to Bo and Uncle Jason for helping assemble the bed. I swear, we wouldn't get anything done around this house if it wasn't for you both!
This morning Carter ran to the slider pulled back the curtains and yelled "Mom, our garden! It's Growing!" So I replied "Ok, do you want to go see it?" So we put on crocs and flip flops and made our way across the yard, all three of us. After taking a peek at the plants, which look exactly the same as yesterday, Carter looked at me and said "Where's the pumpkins? Where's the watermelons?" Yup, this garden will indeed be a good learning experience. Hopefully my black thumb will not get the better of it!
