it's garden planting time! we skipped tending one last year while i was very pregnant and i couldn't wait to get back into the swing of things this time around. we've been spending our days gathering up seeds and starts and forever trying to get dirty hands clean. bee has the most eager little trouble fingers...ripping away at lettuce leaves and raking up dirt to mouth. max is a sweet teacher to her..."this is a pumpkin seed, bee"...and "aaahhh...don't eat that!".
gardening has always been a bit of a "cross your fingers/here's hoping" kind of hobby for us. but every year a little something catches and grows. max calls it magic when seeds sprout and vegetables are plucked and food is washed and ready for dinner. i think he's right on the money...
happy monday, friends!
Aww how cute your lil ones are gardening! Posts like this make me wish I didn't live in a condo and could make my own lil herb garden! =)
ReplyDeletei'm doing a "plants" unit with my students and it's been fun to watch their excitement as the plants grow. these city kids don't get enough time with plants!
ReplyDeleteI used to love gardening growing up looks like everyone had a great time:) Like Charm Kindred on Facebook doing a flower crown drawing

freshly grown produce is the best...especially from your own backyard!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are great. Hope your crop brings some yummy veggies!
ReplyDeletelooks awesome! I've always wanted to try out gardening as a hobby, but have never found the confidence that I won't just be killing some innocent plants..
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the marker sticks! And there is nothing in the world that is nicer than homegrown food and flowers.
ReplyDeletewe're doing the same thing around these parts, and i couldn't be more excited. don't you love having little helpers?? and, if it makes you feel better, we always cross our fingers and wing it too :)
ReplyDeleteIt is magic. Beautiful magic.

So sweet. Last year we grew tomatoes on our back patio and I loved it, even thought we only had a few that were good to eat. We tried an heirloom variety which are a little harder to grow and late bloomers. We had lots but then the weather turned cold. I think we are going to try some sweet 100s this year. I look forward to having a yard and garden one day :) ♥Lindsay
ReplyDeleteYour blog is the place I always go to after a long day, so much joy and inspiration I can find from your posts.
ReplyDeleteRecently, I've started to grow my own herbs and it's such a fun experience. Lovely pictures! -Ben-

Oh your babes are such great helpers :)
ReplyDeleteI love you guys! Bee's little fingers are soooooo cute. Tell Max hi and give him a kiss!
ReplyDeleteI'm 39 + weeks pregnant, and not being able to accomplish all of my gardening is driving me crazy. I can't wait to get back to it! (Although, I did get a few things planted!)
ReplyDeleteHappy spring!
