Digging in the dirt

It's that time of year. Time to plant seeds and get our hands dirty in the garden!

We bought Anna Claire her own little set of gardening tools last year, and she remembers how to use all of them. She was so excited to see them again.

Thursday, we planted 36 seeds using Jiffy peat pellets in a little greenhouse: tomatoes, zucchini, green beans, bell peppers, basil, cilantro, and thyme.

It has been fun for all of us to watch them each day! Seems like new sprouts appear each time we check.

As of today, we have 5 basil sprouts, 2 thyme, 5 tomato, 4 zucchini, and two green bean that are so big, we already transplanted them into our little vegetable garden on the side of the house.

Here are pics from today's green bean planting:

Anna Claire wanted to help me pull weeds, but it's just too hard for her yet. She had fun trying!  ;)

She is cultivating with one hand and "pulling weeds" with the other.
