Planting










We have a busy day surrounded by one theme...planting. This morning the boys got to watch Papa Van Zee come and till up the garden for us to plant and after that the kids got to ride with their daddy in the planter for a couple hours! They had so much fun; I'm sure Mitchell asked a million questions like he always does. This afternoon, we decided to plant our first vegtable garden! The boys were so excited to plant everything, Mitchell enjoyed it very much and it will be fun to watch him get excited when it starts to grow. We decided to plant sweet corn, potatoes, sugar snap peas and green beans. Mitchell also wanted to plant some watermelon as well in a different patch so he's excited to have watermellon this summer too ! We had fun labeling our sticks and putting them in the right places and also making rows (even though they weren't very straight) with our hoes! We have a rule that they have to help weed it once a week or they can't ride their four wheelers, so we'll see if they keep up on their side of the bargain! Mitchell told me that I wasn't allowed to put any flowers in his garden, imagine that! I'll keep you posted with the progress of our new vegtable garden!
