Lil' Gardener

Allie has been asking to plant a garden for sometime now. When you ask her about the garden she says she wants to plant a garden with carrots, peas, beans, potatoes and flowers. We have talked about planting a garden with tomatoes but have never done it. So a few weekends ago, we all headed to Home Depot and bought the materials for Geoff to make a garden box. We thought we would start small and see how it goes (this is our trial year). Geoff made an awesome garden box and filled it with dirt the same afternoon. Since the weather has been kinda hit and miss since Geoff built it, we waited to plant. Allie and Geoff had a planting party last week while I was seeing students one evening. He didn't grab the camera so the next day Allie wanted to dig in the garden like she did with Geoff the night before, so I captured a few shots. She loves getting out and digging in the dirt! We hope we get some plants to grow so we can harvest our veggies and tomatoes. We will keep you posted!!! Geoff also built a sandbox just like the garden box so Allie has been outside everyday and in the evenings! She is a happy little camper :o)
