FFA

(Future Famers of America)

The kids and I have been hard at work getting our seedlings planted for what we hope is a wonderful garden this season.  The guys who are installing our sprinkler system were working in the yard, so that meant we had to plant our seeds at the kitchen table.  Despite the fact that dirt and water were involved, we managed to keep the mud at a minimum.  Why is it that the projects that are always the most fun are always the messiest….paint, markers, play-dough, and anything involving dirt? 

Just getting started.

Adding some dirt.

Time for the seeds.

Just a few drops of water.

Almost finished!

All done.  Now it’s time to play in the dirt!

Look at those messy hands!

The fruits and veggies!

The flowers!

I don’t have the greenest thumb in the world, but we’ll keep you posted as to how our crops do this year.  Never the less, I’m sure the kids and I will have many hours of dirt digging fun in our future.
