I am anything but a good gardener. The only kinds of plants I have in my house are the type of vine you can freeze, dry out, or burn in the sun and they still go on living. I have grand schemes of one day having a real garden in the backyard but haven't the time or energy to put it all together. So, this year I am attempting on growing a container garden on the deck. Elijah saw the seeds in the kitchen and wanted to go ahead and plant them last week.
He did this with Grammy last year and he seemed to know exactly what to do. It was one of those moments when I realized this little boy is growing up. Delight and sadness all mixed up together tight around my heart.
Everyone got in on the action. I love Simon's smile in the photo above.
Little brother entertained himself by sampling the unplanted peas.
Later, he worked on watering some plants of his own.
