Petite Jardin

We accomplished quite a bit of work on Saturday. And when I say "WE" I really mean Winston. I have finally convinced him that it is TIME to PLEASE (very lovingly) get busy on some landscaping. I CAN'T stand the wood chips & dirt any longer! After 3 years of living in this beautiful home [FINALLY] there is LIFE growing in my back yard. It is a PETITE JARDIN! Winston & Landon built up the box then got the dirt & yummy fertilizer mixed in. Landon just HAD to remind me that my hands were "TOUCHING POOP". Yeah...I know. He is so excited about these little plants that he wanted to water them 3 times today. Already he is keeping watch, just like a good gardener would do. He has discovered that ants have found this beautiful little garden. AHHHH! Guess we have to take care of that tomorrow. Landon was also quite concerned about the gloomy "May Gray" Day that we had. "Where is the sun for your plants?" & "No, mommy, the bunnies did not find the garden last night". What a good helper I have.

We planted 1 plant each....

Roma Tomato

Beef steak Tomato

Early Girl Tomato

Cherry Tomato

Cucumber

Zucchini

Yellow Squash

Cantalope

Watermelon

Pumpkin

Basil

 Marigold

Winston also built a super cool gate between our house & Aleta's. Now that she has scouts at her house every Monday--we need a barrior. Actually we will be fencing in the entire yard, so the gate was an easy place to start. Xander will be on the move, sooner that I would like. We will also be pouring a concrete patio & putting in some grass until we are ready for the pool (maybe a few years down the road)
