Boy. Garden.

We planted a garden last summer, and while it looked promising for a good long time, ultimately, it failed. I think we got one pepper. And a few small tomatoes. But our corn never materialized. And cucumbers never surfaced. And. Wait. We had sunflowers. Yes, sunflowers.
We’re trying again this year. Actually, we are not trying. Joey is. He’s done it all — prepped the soil, dug little trenches for seeds, sprinkled them into the dirt, covered them, mulched walkways between rows, labeled and placed sticks near their respective fruits and veggies, and now, we wait. and water. and wait. and hope like heck that small animals and bugs don’t tear the whole thing apart, because Joey will just be overjoyed if his garden grows. And so will his great grandma, all the way up in Heaven, probably wearing her own straw gardening hat and admiring the work of the boy she knew for only two years.
Hello
It is so great to see kids gardening. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer I made it my mission to get my 5 year old daughter in the garden more so she could see where some of the food on our table comes from. On my website http://www.marlenesmealmakeovers.com there is a spot called “Dakota’s Digs” where we are going to track the progress of some indoor sprouts that she is working on. I thought your boys might be interested in trying it as well, check it out!
Best Health,
Marlene
