kids and gardening

Our TV-FREE initiative started last Tuesday and is going well.  The kids have been busy enough with other activities and events that they haven’t really had time to complain. Over the weekend, we decided to let each of our girls take ownership of their own garden bed, to plant, water and care for as they see fit. We took a trip over the our local garden center let them pick out some plants and came home with 150 annual seedlings.  Phyllis and the girls fortified the beds with peat moss and composted cow manure and managed to plant all the seedlings (with a handful left over for containers).
