We had some glorious weather a couple of weeks ago, and I knew it was time to put out the plants we had bought. But first off, some time spent in the backyard:
J was collecting things and explaining that it was for the birds to make their nests.
Macy and Milo were having the best time chasing each other. Milo likes to 'hide' behind this tree from Macy.
J and I looked at the basket of edibles he made at his garden club the week before, and he tried most of them (lettuce, spinach, and dill.) The strawberries have bloomed but of course aren't ready yet.
Then he decided he would plant the items he had previously planned to leave for the birds.....
Eventually it was on to the front yard, and time to put the plants out! J got right into the middle and started digging.
We dug up a friend or two....
earthworms! We talked about how we need to be kind to them and how they are a great thing to have in our garden beds, and after some inspection, we put them back in the soil.
The two of us, planing spinach.
J showing off his work!
He had never paid any attention to the water barrels in the front flower beds, and was excited to learn about them and to discover he could manage the faucet himself.
Tasting some kale, which he claims he liked.
The bumblebees were enjoying the kale flowers, along with a solitary honeybee.
