More Gardening

During a warm spell early in May, Dan decided to take the kids outside to plant a few things in the Garden. They planted peas and beans in the main garden box. Zoe has her own little Poppy garden and Noah has his own Carrot garden. Unfortunately the good weather has not managed to stick around. We've had several wind storms, a few snow storms, and a couple of deep freezes. The rest of or garden still sits in the front room awaiting the day when we feel it is safe to move it outdoors. We are hoping maybe this weekend, but last nights' weather has put a little cloud of doubt on that. The kids are really excited and check for growth each day, sometimes even twice a day! Will spring ever come? Someone needs to remind Mother Nature that it is the end of May. However, we should all be grateful for the extra moisture this year. I know our lawn looks the best it ever has and we haven't had to turn on the sprinklers all that much.

Here is a picture of Dan practicing extreme patience with Zoe and letting her plant some seeds, even though it takes 3 to 4 times as long. I am very proud of him. I would have given up in 2 seconds. Noah cooperated much better and is really into the whole gardening thing. He must get it from his Dad.
