Little Gardeners

Because of the crazy winter weather pushing its way into May this year, followed by quite a few rainy weeks my parents were quite behind at putting in their garden this year. They finally got the opportunity, after the ground dried out a bit, about 2 weeks ago. The boys had been talking about wanting to help them plant the garden for the past month, so we took the opportunity to join them in the hard work & fun!

The boys started out by helping Papa (which Mommy ended up taking over) plant peas – easy enough. But they lost interest in that & were a lot more interested in digging in the empty dirt of the garden. So, we put that energy to good use & they helped dig holes to plant the potatoes in. After the potatoes were in, they started to be more interested in their 4-wheelers & the water hose then helping plant – so that’s just what they did. Had fun!

I’m excited to keep them interested in the garden by having them help out with weeding & watering during our visits to grandpa & grandma’s. I know they’ll be so excited to see their plants grow & hopefully want to try some of the veggies at harvest time.

A big thanks to my mom & dad for having us over and not minding the “extra” help.
