Spring Garden


We were busy bees in our garden over the week-end. We planted quite a bit and are starting to see some earlier efforts emerge, except for the peas. Where are you peas? Did you get gobbled up by some hungry bunnies? The garlic from last fall is big and beautiful which is exciting since it's our first time with it. 

The day's highlights included; bluebirds and butterflies, Little Smith unplanting seeds as fast as we could get them in, chatting on the phone with my cousin who is enjoying her new baby, my boys planting a special sunflower row around the sandbox, new tips from fellow gardeners, and no tantrums from any of us.

The perfect end to the day was trying to scrub clean Little Smith's very black feet. We learned that he's ticklish and the giggles lasted just a little later than the usual bedtime. A very sweet spring day.

    1. Our's is actually a community garden so we have one large plot within it... but you're seeing lots of other people's gardens as well in the overall pictures. It is a beautiful spot and we are so grateful to have gotten our plot before the gardening boom completely took off- now the waiting list is very long :)
