Planting

Well, we didn't exactly plant today but we got the garden all ready to plant. David worked really hard today and got really burnt as well. Something with men and not wearing a shirt when they work outside. Anyway, the gardens are ready and I drew diagrams today to determine where to plant everything. I went online to find out about companion gardening to place things together that work well. I am going to plant some marigolds next to my tomatoes and mint plants by the cucumbers, onions with the strawberries. I learned a lot about what to plant with what but I just don't have enough space for everything. I'm going to make this all organic b/c if I want to eat pesticides then I will just go to the store to buy my produce.

Andrew finally has a sprout in his cup. I can't wait for them to turn into sunflowers so they can see what we are doing. I am so excited for them to help with the flowers and veggies. Andrew was raking the dirt today and kept saying "These are my plants. We are working so hard." He helped daddy all day long. He ran through the house to get from the front to the back when David was hauling the mulch. He wouldn't walk with David b/c of the dogs. He likes them but not that much. He raced David to see who get out front first and then out back. They had a great day. I think Andrew's favorite part was when we went to the nursery and the tractor dropped the mulch in the bed of the truck.

Well, tomorrow is my incredibly busy day but hopefully I can post sometime on Monday. Hope everyone has a great Sunday and Monday. love ya
