The children got into the act this week with the seed starting. Last year, I prepared a little bed just for the grandchildren’s plants. It’s a great way to share time with the children and teach them an appreciation of nature. We grew sunflowers and ornamental gourds. This year they requested watermelons. So, I made the necessary preparations with the peat pots, and they came by to push the seeds into the soil. I also threw pumpkins and cucumbers into the mix.
Here Max stands by the seeds he planted. Cecily, a friend of Max’s, does the same. Lucy was too busy with other activities to have her picture made.
I continue to transplant the zinnias I started into the peat pots. The ones previously started are showing progress. The weather is warmer this week, and I am spending time outside raking some of the trails in the woods.
