Growing a garden


Matt has been threatening to start a garden with the girls for about a year. Well today he actually did it. He cleared an area in our yard and if all goes as planned we will be eating a variety of beans, cucumbers, lettuce, squash and cantaloupe in a few months. Since we have no idea what was planted where, it will be a mystery garden until some vegetables pop up. If not we will have assorted weeds and mud for the kids to water and watch!
It was a lot of fun and the kids were definitely excited about planting their garden. Even Akiva got in on the action.
He found one of the girls spoons and decided to start digging in the dirt and then he ate some. I think I might be spending my summer keeping him out of our new garden and trying to convince him that just because it's on a spoon does not mean it's food.
