Green Thumbs

Peter and Sammie spent the weekend building and planting our Spring garden. This has been something Peter's been talking about for a while and the weather has been so perfect (in the upper 70's!) Sammie had a blast doing this project with daddy...granted anything is fun with daddy:)

Step one-
Dig out a space for the garden and wheelbarrow the keystones across the yard. Of course Sammie and Cole had to go for a few rides!

Step 2-
Put in the dirt. Mix it around and make it nice a flat...sort of!

Step 3-
Plant the seeds...Samantha's favorites...sunflowers! They also planted straberries, jalepenos, carrots, corn, peas, tomatoes and zucchini. Hopefully something will grow or it's going to be pretty anticlimactic to water the garden everyday!


Step 4-
Water the plants...with a bucket, hose, watering can or whatever you can get your little hands on!
