Gardening has been such a joy this year, especially as Daniel is able to walk and play with garden tools. He has fallen in two holes and dug several of his own, landed in two piles of dirt, broken a clay pot with a shovel, found and chewed up several sticks, acquired a litany of tiny scratches, and twice now he has thoroughly soaked his clothes with the hose. I wouldn't have it any other way. As he is exploring under my careful watch, Daniel is developing his own love for the outdoors and learning how to cultivate the God's creation. Now when I ask him if he wants to go outside, he runs excitedly to the backdoor. I look forward to seeing him learn new ways to contribute to gardening and have fun getting a little dirty as he continues to grow.
This little squash plant is being encouraged to grow vertically.
I love it! I think we might move our seeds to the ground this weekend. Jerry started the ones you gave us and we have sprouts! The onions, garlic, peas and pole beans all look great :-) We still have to go pic up some tomatoes, cucumber, squash and herbs but we'll get those already started from the Farmer's Market. I am so glad you are having fun! Happy Earth Day
