Including the Kids

Including the Kids

Kids see everything. They recently helped me construct a new shelving system to grow plants on. When they caught me getting some seeds going without them, there was a small protest. So, the picture posted here is their plantings from earlier today.

I have 3 girls younger than 7, and each tray in the picture represents their planting of choice. One wanted tomatoes, another lettuce and last basil. They have their own space on the shelf now, which we'll monitor each day. I have a little spray water bottle they can use to care for their plants. It's exciting to watch my little gardeners passionate about their garden. For me, it was time with my kids, and I know that with that time together, we planted more than just seeds today.
