Starting the garden


As you can see, the thermometer crossed the 50 degree mark earlier this week (it actually crossed the 70 degree mark a couple days later!!!!  :) ).

The girls and I seized the opportunity to get outside and start our veggie and herb seeds.


The girls were so excited and happy to be out in the fresh air.


I was too.


We planned out what was going to get planted.


We filled with dirt.



We put in seeds.


Corn seeds were what Maya picked.



We also planted sunflower seeds.



We had fun getting our hands dirty...


...but the girls eventually ditched me.


Why do they always ditch me?


Does this mean they are really going to move out and leave me someday?

Please say no.


Luckily Sam jumped in and picked up their slack.


Mine too, I think.  

I seem to be taking a lot more pictures than planting seeds. ;)

But when all was said and done...


...everything was planted...


...watered...


...and put out to enjoy the sunshine.

And I got to enjoy this...


...I hope I get to enjoy that everyday for the rest of my life!  <3

I'm so glad you posted your plantings, they are an inspiration to me! Will you then plant corn and sunflowers, along with all the rest, in your backyard? Do you plant them in a shaded area or a sunny area? Do you put a little fence around them to keep out animals? I want a garden and I've never done it (can you tell?) ;)
