Green Thumb??

Well, I'm hoping that at least one of us has a green thumb in this family. I can probably count myself out. I've pretty much conquered killing any plant under my care. I'm quite surprised that God even entrusted me with my 2 sweet girls, because I certainly can't keep a plant alive :(

But with the help of Corey, Audrey and Addison, hopefully we will have an abundant amount of veggies from our garden.

The girls love helping us plant, water and take care of the garden.

Audrey was quite the helper with planting the seeds.

Addison was good at trampling on what we just planted, throwing dirt and rocks, and pestering the dogs.

This year we planted Lima beans, peas, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, corn, squash, cucumbers and sunflowers.

I'm looking forward to seeing what becomes of our little garden, so follow along with me as I post updates on the condition of our garden. And as for a green thumb... well, we will see!

The Apples of My Eye

I just love watching these three play together and do activities together. There is so much love between them. I am such a blessed lady.

After Audrey finished eating an apple the other day, Corey cut it open and showed her the seeds. They gathered the seeds and put them aside to plant.

Today these three got a little dirty and planted the apple seeds. Hopefully, one day, we will have some apple trees to enjoy.

Mary, Mary....How Does Your Garden Grow?

I don't have a green thumb. At ALL!! Mostly everything green in my care ends up dead in just a few weeks. But we do love planting some flowers every year, anyway.

Most of the time they don't have time to die because of my neglect, because they girls "pick" all of them first :)

Audrey and Corey- Our "master" gardeners



And Addison- our horticulturalist in training-



Yes, she still needs a little more training...dirt isn't meant for human consumption!



But she had a blast anyway! (It couldn't have tasted good- YUCK!)



(Disclaimer- I did stop her from eating any more dirt, but I just had to capture the moment with my camera. And I did clean out her mouth as well!)
