Since I just pulled the dead-from-cold potted plants off the balcony, I figured it must be time to post a few photos from the planting and caring for of Adela’s first garden before winter is here in full effect. I’m a little sad that we didn’t do this until August. The plants didn’t have enough time to get all the way to the flowering and fruiting stage, but it was a great learning experience for Adela. She got a kick out of the whole process. We checked out a ton of books from the library about plants and sunshine and seeds and how things grow, and thanks to the library’s new policy, we renewed them 6 or 7 times and read each one about a billion and one times. Isn’t one of the most fun things about having kids is that we get to teach them things? Very cool. And she was so responsible (at 3 and 3/4 to remind me that she needed to water her plants every day.) We’ll definitely be doing this again in the spring!
Every time I look at my personal photos, I get a pang of regret that I’m not 365ing right now. I think I feel a year long project coming on… Yep, pretty sure I do. But what? Comment with your ideas! I’m looking for inspiration. 🙂
