we planted a garden! and by planted, i mean transplanted starter plants. and by garden, i mean pots and window boxes. you see, we need this garden to be moveable, because...
that's right! our house sold - bittersweet b/c of all of the memories, but we are excited! so, back to the garden - we have wanted to plant a garden for awhile, but our backyard is not conducive to an in-ground garden b/c we can't get full sun.
this year, doug had this idea >>>>>>>
since i am feeling a bit better with the nerve medication i am on, we decided to tackle the project.
we planted spinach, peas, cauliflower, 3
different types of lettuce, kale, parsley, oregano, cilantro, thyme,
rosemeary and basil, with green onions to come.
NOW FOR THE FUN PICTURES!
i had a little helper. and by helper i mean a little person who liked to throw the soil out of the pot as soon as i put it in. she also liked killing the spinach. it was mia's first real experience digging in the soil. she had her bucket and shovel and absolutely loved it! as a warning, i am one of those moms that thinks that if my one year old's knees and feet are dirty, that i must be doing something right! so, if you are opposed to dirt and cringe when a kid's outfit gets ruined- read no further!
she started the afternoon like this...
she ended the afternoon like this...
the in-between went something like this...
buckets, shovels and rakes, oh my!
helping mommy
don't let the face fool you...
she kept returning for water hose sprays!
and, finally, i hear soil taste testers are in high demand these days!
