  • inkscrblr I have started gardening with my children again this year and it is always fun. We enjoy digging in the dirt and making messes and just seeing what turns up and what grows or doesn't grow. There is a strange crop of sunflowers in the middle of the garden Ainsley and I started and we didn't plant them there. I always find that a bit funny and a bit magical. This year we transferred beans from the pots that were indoors to the garden (My sixer had been doing Jack and the Beanstock at school and they grew beanstocks.) We are trying zucchini for the first time ever to see what happens and I just transplanted a birdhouse gourd we found at the dollar store as one of those tiny kid science experiments they sometimes sell. I can't wait to see what that produces. We also have the usual carrots and tomatoes (maybe this will be the year they turn red!?!). Then there are cucumbers too. I walked out the back door this morning and began watering and a baby rabbit sprang out of my hosta and hopped back behind the shed. I love that and my kids last night spied a mole scurrying across the yard. I could live in our backyard some days. In the spring and summer it is magic.
