I'm Gardening with my Lil Grand Daughter
Well I haven't blogged since 15 Mar so here is my latest claim to fame...My grand daughter wanted to grow something since her school was making this a big project prior to the end of the school year. We planted Flowers and Vegetables. She was excited, we planted tomatoes seeds first. She made the hole with her finger to put in the two seeds and covered them up. The next day she asked if the tomatoes was ready yet. Evert day she asked!
Finally the stem came up out of the ground, then finally cherry tomatoes. she was ecstatic and scared to pull one off the stem. So I pulled them off and put them in a cup for her to take to school for "Show and Tell". Then we planted more veggies and flowers.
All are showing signs of survival from two non farmers, thanks to Miracle grow. We got watermelons, cantaloupes, big tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and many types of flowers in our little 8 by 8 foot garden in the back yard. She can water pretty good these days without washing the seeds right out the grown. She has her gloves, water can, kneeling pad and a carry cart/bucket.
Her mom can not tell her she can't grow food to eat. Now I gotta find out how to make pickles from our cucumbers.. Well that's all the excitement for awhile. I hope she gets interested in something else for next year, I need rest.
Oh, I forgot, I planted two peach trees too. Walmart had them for two cent each so if they don't make it I will not have lost too much money. Next year we may have peaches to eat. We may try a few more plantings later this month if she is still interested in planting. She'll be five years old in August and she graduates on the 29Th from kindergarten.
