Little Green Thumb

The weather was so nice today that we spent a lot of time outside, sitting on the porch swing, walking around the block, and getting some work done on the yard. We bought some tomato, green beans, and strawberry seeds, and brought them all home to plant. Anastasia picked out the strawberry kit herself. We also picked out a peach tree for the back yard.

Anastasia was pretty interested in planting the seeds. Annie was pretty fascinated by the seed starter pods, and really liked watching them absorb the water as she poured it. Then it was time to put the seeds in: tomatoes in one row, beans in the other.



The strawberrys came in a kit that included a cute bucket with soil and seeds. Annie wasn't interested in playing in the soil, but once it was time to water it, she was on the job. Here she is with the finished product.



We'll keep an eye on the plants over the next couple weeks and provide updates as they start to grow.
