We broke down and decided to do a garden this year.
This is not the first year doing a garden, but hopefully this year our neighbor won't spray it with Roundup!
Let's begin...
No we are not trying to grow cinder blocks and fabric.
Those are the clever pathways I thought of.
I will let you know in a few months if it was a super great idea, or a never do it again idea.
Isabelle was so excited to help.
I am not sure how many of the seeds made it into the right spots.
As mom reminded me though
"We aren't trying to grow plants, we're trying to grow kids".
I figure we only spent $20 on seeds, so as long as we get that many vegetables back it'll be a job well done.
I remember always having a garden growing up. I hated weeding and working in the garden, but now that I am older I can really see the value of the work for the kids. Maybe Isabelle will eat vegetables if she has the pride of growing them herself!
Daniel and Erica's family stopped by, which was nice because we enlisted more child labor. Elyssa might be a child, but she works harder than many adults could, or would.
Cameron enthusiastically said "I didn't know work could be this fun!"
Wasn't it nice of us to let the kids have fun?
William had fun too! This kid loves to be outdoors.
We found William helped with gardening best when he wasn't in the garden.
Here's to hoping that we gets lots and lots of yummy food this year.
Zucchinis I challenge you....prepare to be breaded, baked, shredded and fried!
