Gardening as a Family

We love having a garden and I love teaching the boys about the importance of planting and growing seeds. The boys LOVE getting dirty, watching things grow and then eating what they plant. We have a little patch of garden that we planted this year and hope to get something out of. We planted last year and didn't get a thing. Lots grew, but someone or something else ate everything before we could get to it. This year we are going to put a fence around it. Until then, the chickens are off-limits and will have to stay in their coop.
Charlie learning to make watermelon mounds...
His little fingers are so cute poking the seeds into the ground
Jack decided he didn't want to follow directions and plant in the shape of his initials so he planted his seeds in an "abstract" formation.
Way to get in there Charlie, bare feet and all...
