Our work in the garden continues! Yesterday we planted cucumber, hot pepper, pepper, tomato, and lettuce in our vegetable garden, and added some color to our shade garden too. Annabelle helped us select plants at the gardening center, but mostly she just dropped gravel into a watering can (yes, we emptied it out before leaving the center). At home, our neighbors Ella and Wilma were eager to lend a hand in our garden, so we put them to work. I modeled how to dig a hole and plant a 3” vegetable in the raised bed garden, and then the girls took turns planting, digging, and watering our gardens.
As mentioned in my last post on the garden, I am brainstorming an article idea about gardening with children. What I’ve noticed is that it’s good to start early when introducing plants and the garden to kids because as they get older, I fear that they may lose interest. Anyhoo, just wanted to share what’s new in my garden . . .
