a gardener and his sidekick

rob is an outdoorsman. anytime he can be in the yard doing something is a happy time. he has put countless hours into our yard since we moved in here.

she is just like him. she has always preferred being outside. playing, riding bikes and, yes, working in the yard.

rob wanted to start most of our garden from seed this year so about four weeks ago he got his seedling kit, all the seeds and they planted. now they all look like this so it was time to transplant.

she loves to get out with her daddy and get her hands dirty. she spent most of the evening filling pots with dirt, transplanting the veggies and writing what it was on the pot in her own little abbreviated form. 

this year we are doing:

butternut squash

jalapenos

onions

potatoes

asparagus

carrots

garlic

watermelon

cantaloupe

cilantro

strawberries

lettuce

cucumbers

broccoli

corn

pumpkins and

zucchini

we think that's it. we may add more if there's room. 

we also needed a new composter. we have a wooden box that rob built a couple years ago but it isn't the same. she left her friends house to come home and help put it together. so sweet.
