So we dug up our grass for a garden...
The boys got a little anxious to plant seeds so we decided what can it hurt?!

Have I mentioned the boys LOVE having some dirt to dig in?!

The boys had so much fun putting the seeds into the dirt
I helped them space the seeds out

Watering is important

The boys are very good about watering their garden and are excited to see the plants coming up!
Greg and I have had so much fun teaching the boys about how plants live and what it takes to keep them alive! They are out there every day (at least 3-4 times) checking on the plants and making sure their garden is still alive! It's fun to watch their excitement and fascination with the whole "growing a garden" experience!!
