Foto Friday #4

For Family Home Evening on Monday, we gave our garden some much needed attention. We also harvested a healthy crop of weed grass. We neglected to plant tomatoes this year but the ones from last year took up our slack and sprouted anyway. Pumpkins were the same story. That's kinda cool! Saves us some work. Who am I kidding? I am not the gardener in the family.


Here are the kids planting some beans. The Boy seemed to miss the concept of "two beans per hole" and simply filled the hole with the seeds. Should make for some interesting sprouts.


Da Boo is an overly sensitive soul. She is rescuing a worm from the bean furrows. Of course, a few minutes later, this garden was hoed up for the pumpkins and squash...I didn't bother pointing that out to her.


While the Boy was all about saving the worms, too, he had a different method. He would place the worm gently in his bucket and then scoop dirt on top, soundly packing each layer. And when he was forbidden from digging more dirt out of the garden (since he had a tendency to toss it all at his sister), he resorted to just "stirring" the worm in his bucket with the shovel. Somehow, I don't think the worms considered this much of a rescue...
