They Day We Got Our Garden Started

Kate Brooke & Emily - planting girls 4-30-11aAs soon as the sun started shinning this spring (for a few hours anyway) we decided to get our garden started.  During spring break, we had fun getting some seeds started inside, but working outside together in the sunshine was even better.

We started by pulling out some crazy big weeds and raking the dirt.  Both activities were crowd pleasers and the girls did a great job getting everything ready.

The girls loved planting the seeds and Emily thought the whole activity was a blast.

The garden turned out great and they got all of their favorites and a few new things planted.  It is so much fun watching things grow and change as time passes.  The girls watch the seeds and I watch the girls and we are all amazed at what we see.

I hope that everything that you and your beautiful girls have planted has survived our crazy weather!
