I never claimed to have a green thumb...I'm pretty sure it's a lovely shade of grey when it comes to gardening. Never much liked it or tried it for that matter but our sad, empty flower boxes were begging for some attention so I figured it'd be a fun family thing to do. Maddie loved it, of course since she could just get dirty and wet with no repercussions....plus she loves to feel useful. It's sweet how she really wants to pitch in.
Garret decided to mow the, er, grass later to prep the yard (it's horribly dead with the lack of rain we've had!) And, on cue, Maddie grabbed her lawnmower and "helped" Daddy.
With our leftover flowers and plants we made a little garden...since the flower boxes are too high for her to reach, I figured she could have her own little area to water and tend to. We may get ambitious and plant some veggies (provided we don't kill these first :).
