My Lovely Container Garden

Me and the girls are doing a veggie garden this year! I may actually be cured from the "Curse of the Black Thumb!" My friend really encouraged me to start a container garden this year, and she recommended some great plants that would do well in containers... so far so good! I planted tomatoes, snap peas, broccoli, sweet basil, green pepper, and the marigolds are for a pop of color and to keep bugs at bay :)

I Feel Special!

It's amazing how something so simple can make you feel so good! Look at these lovely marigolds my daughter brought home from nursery school for me today along with a rainbow heart picture formed from her little hand prints! This school does the best little keepsake gifts! She also brought sunflower seeds to plant, that should make a nice addition to our tomato and bean seeds that we already planted! I know, it's really a random mix, but the kids just love digging in the dirt. I think we're going to try to plant a garden this year... wish us luck! And since it's a rainy icky day, what better than to have the goyles do a card for all their Grannies today! Happy Mother's Day!
