After adventuring in the park on March 1, we headed to a nearby garden store for seeds and tomato transplants. We also ended up going home with two Texas Mountain Laurel shrubs, because they have been blooming beautifully everywhere here and the flowers smell like grape Kool-aid!
Once I got home with the kids & plants/seeds, we went to work. Planting seeds with two toddlers is very good for helping me fight off my perfectionist tendencies, ha! :) In the end, the beans were well-planted in the proper locations in the garden boxes (plus several that may or may not sprout in the grass and in the steps off the back porch)--but the carrots, well, who knows where they'll end up sprouting? I showed Caleb how to sprinkle a pinch of carrot seeds, and off he went, sprinkling here and there, having a wonderful time :)
We meant to concentrate only on beans and tomatoes, but I couldn't help adding carrots, zucchini, and butternut squash. And cucumbers.
Joe planted the Texas Mountain Laurels on Saturday, and we are so excited to watch everything grow! Not to mention eating garden vegetables :)
