Gardening

This year we decided to plant a small garden, emphasis on small. We have a short row of lettuce, a bean plant Carter grew in school, 3 potato plants, and 3 tomatoes in pots, and 3 pepper plants. I thought the kids would be interested in seeing things grow and they are old enough this year to help. Carter especially loves gardening..

Anyway, I actually took 1/2 hour the other day and weeded the garden. It really needed it, but I hadn't felt like I'd had time. I've mentioned that this summer feels busier than the school year did!! Wow! Except now, it's all fun stuff!!

So I weeded and look what I found!!!! I am going to weed more often!! I don't even care if Al planted it to help me weed... it's money either way!! Woo Hoo!! Go gardening!!

What a great motivation for weeding.

This was one of the first years we did not have a garden. We usually have big aspirations for a great summer full of gardening and plant a pretty big garden. Then the excitement wears off - and the weeds take over. :) This year we are just sharing in Dave's parent's garden.

It is so fun for kids to see stuff growing though!

May you find your fortune as you weed...

Ya know, I wouldn't care if he planted it either. Next time I'd hint for a higher denomination!!!!!!
