The roots go down

and the plants go up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.

A few weeks ago I had this idea to start a garden with my boys. I wanted to teach them things about plants and how to eat healthy (because we miss that one) and make wise decisions about the things we put in our bodies but also about how wonderful God is and how we started off as a little seed that need to be taken care of and about how to nurture something and about mother nature....all at the same time!!! So I set my sights on the dollar isle at Target and got some much needed gardening supplies (they were really cute!!) and some seed packets. After talking entirely too long to the lady in the garden department about when the best time to plant and what to plant when, I decided it would be easier to get seed pods to start the seeds in and then transfer them. When I came home i was very surprised when two very dirty but excited boys came running out mumbling about their new garden. My husband had tilled some dirt in the side yard (5x7 maybe) and was ready for me to sow some seed...hahahaha!! He decided the dirt was more like sand than what he had thought so I took my little car to ACE and bought cow poop...yep cow poop, organic right!!! We have been going out every night to see the growth of little lesson plan. I was amazed that the plants started to grow. We are working on trying to put them in the grown but I am afraid that I will kill each and every one of them. I will keep updating pictures and how they are doing. I cant wait to pick my own veggies...maybe the boys will eat them!!!
