Gardening with Grandma

Last night, finally, after all the rain and stress of worrying about planting corn and beans, we took an hour or so and helped Grandma plant her garden! After all, we will all benefit from this little plot and the kids wanted to help. Carter especially likes to dig in the dirt with plants and flowers. We brought our neighbors along to enjoy the experience. Even the kitties "helped." First, we planted tomatoes. Hopefully, this fall we will make some salsa again. Al loves homemade salsa and I don't always have the energy to make it. Then we went on to plant beans, potatoes, sunflowers, and carrots! The kids had a ball and hopefully learned a little from grandma along the way.

Below, Carter is showing our neighbor A. how to plant a tomatoe plant. He is such a little master gardener!
Casey got bored with the garden and wanted to drive the lawn "tractor."
Emily is mulching the little tomatoes that we planted.
It was a nice evening and a nice time was had by all!! We'll see if they are interested in weeding?...I'll definitely have to post pics if they are!
