Grow, Already!

Saturday was planting day around here.  We all loaded up and headed to the store to get flowers, seeds, and garden soil and plants.  It was a very exciting trip.  We were quite the spectacle the whole time.  I have gotten used to being watched and laughed at.  Really, I have!

Sam, Lauren, and Abby did some flower planting in front of the house.  

Isaiah and Laila lost interest after about 1 minute. 

I lost interest before we started.  

 Next up, Abby's garden.  This girl is passionate about all things gardening.  She even has a summer job lined up to get some experience, earn a little cash, and help out an older friend of ours.

 This girl has the motivation to garden.  

This summer we get to see if she has a green thumb!

 The plants waiting to be planted.

We, I mean they,  planted tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, pumpkins, zucchini, cilantro, and we are going to add squash this week.

 In process

 She loved every minute of it!

 I am hoping for some veggies, even just one of each, please.

Gardening is an expensive endeavor.  I am pretty sure that with the money we spent to set this whole thing up, I could have gotten a lot of our summer produce at the Farmer's Market.  Oh, well, it has to be about the experience and learning opportunity it provides at this point.  Investing in the future!
