We are planting a garden for the first time this year! I am really excited about it and the kids are too. We started our growing season by planting flower seeds yesterday. I had my camera outside with us planning on having a wonderful time teaching my kids. Well, it turns out that 8 little hands can not be controlled by one pair of big hands. Seeds were going EVERYWHERE and one of our "greenhouses" (disposable lasagne pans) was hit by a seasonal storm that caused massive flooding. The storm's name was Care Bear. My patience ran out really quickly and I just hurried as fast as I could to get it done. I never even turned the camera on. I am a little worried to see what we end up with. I hope at least a few plants live.
Our makeshift greenhouses soaking up some sun!
Today we planted strawberry plants. They are the kind that will produce all summer long! I went to our local Farmer's Market this morning and bought 10 plants for $10 and we planted them this afternoon. They should produce at least 1 1/2 lbs per plant. Yeah!
I guess a little dirt won't hurt! As long as I can get the dirt out from under my nails before church in the morning. :)

You and Poosie Doo make me want to go plant some things! I would, but I just don't think they would survive the long trek across the country! I hope they all grow well for you, and enjoy some yummy strawberries for me!
Good luck with your plants and garden this year. I hope it works better than all of ours have. We do have the annual strawberries that is wonderful. I can't remember if I responded back on facebook or not so here is our blog. btbart.blogspot.com I am doing all I can to get caught up and I am getting there. I am trying to get it caught up so I can then blog about the day to day adventures rather than just the major events. Enjoy Thanks Teresa
Love the finger picture, they do make gloves to avoid the whole I am a mechanic look. Hope your plants survive. We haven't planted yet, you make me nervous hope it goes o.k.
Your house looks like my house! I sure wish I could find strawberry plants that cheap, here it's like $10 a plant! Don't worry about gloves, those are for sissies! (love ya Mir) I think it's a great conversation starter! Any buds yet? This is when my daliahs and cosmos popped out.
What fun! I tried to do that when Luke was Care Bear's age also. It made for a cute scrapbook page.... but what a headache! I LOVE home strawberries!! Hopefully you will get enough for jam!
