Who is tired of gardening?

Not me! Isn't this cute? A plant in a couple of tires. This is a potato plant. It's a great idea, because any potatoes exposed to sun too early can turn green. Green potatoes are poisonous to people! A little FYI for ya!

Our Nursery Field Trip

In getting 'deeply rooted' started... Me, Nichole and all the youngins' took a trip to Woodley's to talk about a sponsorship for our garden. He gave us an awesome and we can't wait to get started. The kids loved looking at all the plants and flowers. I must have said a thousand times "DON'T TOUCH"!!! We loved the apple trees, pink cactus and fuzzy firetails. We even saw a pomegranate bush. Graham took notes for a science project. He asked questions and learned how to trim a tree. Jordan loved the fish pond and fake alligator. Hannah was fighting every opportunity to 'pick' a flower.

Moved to the back step....

Our little, leafy fellas graduated to the back step. They have struggled through rain storms, hail and a VERY mischievous squirrel. They are doing well and growing fast.
