back on track!



We're back on track with gardening. Our seeds came in late, but we weren't quite ready to plant anyway. David's paint-dot system might actually keep us organized (or, at least, keep track of which tomatoes are which). Our young friend Jonathan helped up plant this year, and he did a terrific job -- and learned a little bit about math!

Virginia will be "helping," no doubt, and we're planning lots of vegetables around her -- and around the (YAY!) deep freezer we got from craigslist.

Helping Hands



Oh, Miss V. has really taken to gardening (with some breaks for sliding, of course).

I hope horse manure compost isn't bad for toddlers. She ate a little. Maybe it'll build her immunity? Farm kids are supposed to be healthier and anti-bacterial-slathered-kids because of their early exposure to a variety of microbes.

Let's hope.
