Garden 2012


 Levi and Maci with their flowers.

 Levi pulled a carrot and it had 3 "horns" as he called it. We washed it off with the hose and we each had a bite. They both laughed and laughed.
Well lets just say the garden did not do too well this year. The combination of the extreme heat...lack of watering lead to a crop of a 3 cucumbers, a couple zucchinis, a pint of cherry tomatoes and a few carrots. The sunflowers did well though...next year we will try again. The kids enjoy checking on it and pulling up carrots..not knowing if it is a weed or not. We also like to pick flowers from our yard and see what is happening in the morning outside. We have seen turkeys, hummingbirds, rabbits, grasshoppers, snakes and caterpillars slugs,big bees, ants. We like to explore. Maci still gets afraid of the "eews" or bugs but Levi is more than happy to get them for us and show us.
