Early Spring Gardening with the Grandchildren

Warm Weather Arrives Early

The recent summer like weather gave me the opportunity to spade some ground and start planting some seeds for the spring garden.

Little Ones Help

Little helpers watch Grandpa cover the arugula.

Sam and Caroline helped me plant the beans last year.  This year I let them plant the onion sets, sow some radish seeds and some arugula.  The rows are not straight but the seeds are up and they are proud of their accomplishments.

The Wonder of It All

Caroline really enjoys eating everything we grow and Sam just enjoys helping Grandpa.  For me just watching these precious ones so eagerly help warms my heart and gives me hope for the future.  The joy of working to grow our own healthy food is such a blessing.
