Gardening... sort of!

We live "in town" and we don't have a lot of space in our yard that could be dug up and planted with vegetables. However, all the kids are interested in growing things and seeing how it all works. They wanted to grow some of their own vegetables. So, I devised a plan that should work.

I asked Pops to build or buy some large containers (he's frugal... he built them himself!) for doing a container garden on our deck. At first he thought I was nuts. But, after some continued nagging patient requesting a few planters appeared on our deck ready to go.

The treekids filled the bottom of the planters with rocks and then soil. Eventually, they were filled and the planting of the seeds began!

Everyone is very excited about the plants that will be yummy to try this summer! Beets, radishes, carrots, many varieties of lettuce, onions and several herbs will be on their way to our summer table!  

Pictures of the little bits of plants peeking through the dirt... soon.  Have to get out there and take those pictures!!
