Planting

This is our first attempt at having a real garden. We talked about it every year we lived in Texas but it never happened, and then last year we were living in a rental house.

This year, though, it had been on J's mind and he really wanted to make it happen. So during Grammie and Grampie's most recent visit the three of them bit the bullet and made a trip to Home Depot to get the materials to put together a small (4x4) box garden in the front of our house.

J spent one entire afternoon digging up the ground where the garden would go and putting together the box and filling it with soil, with some help from Grampie, of course. When he picked R up from day care that afternoon they went back to Home Depot to pick up some things to plant. R had a lot of fun choosing and they came back with some romaine seedlings and a couple of marigolds.

Here are a few shots of J and R planting radish and carrot seeds. .And, of course, RUS wanted to get in on the action by looking absolutely adorable while J and R got the seeds in!
