Our Garden

We were late as usual, but we started our garden for the year. We chose Oriental Poppies, Zinnias, and Four O'Clocks (all high sun) for our flowers this year. Last year we grew Hollyhocks and 2 foot tall Marigolds (they were mosterous)...we are hoping for another successful garden this year!

Every year, we start our seeds in an egg carton. The girls did all of the work.

They kids were very careful with our soil and seeds.

Do you see green on their thumbs?

These are the seeds the kids planted for me on Mother's day. They are Mini Sunflowers and Pansies.

Mom and Dad planted a couple of seeds in our garden. Daddy planted a couple of flowers that Mom got from Grandma Cruise on Mother's Day. We saved plenty of room for our little seedlings to move into when they are ready!

Kendall got a little gardening practice at school, too! This is "Mr. G (Green Grass)...Kendall planted and grew him at Kindergarten. Isn't he adorable??? Natalie also grew Mom a bean plant for Mother's day. It is currently growing in Grandma Cruise's garden (she has all of the equiptment).

Stay tuned for more oh so exciting garden updates!!!
