Taking Time to Garden, Teach and Enjoy Life

Spring is here and it has been beautiful.  The weather has been so lovely and the outside is beckoning me all the time ;)  It has been hard for me to stay inside, making meals, house chores and spending time on the computer are not high on the priority list.
   The girls and I have been preparing the garden and have been planting some early vegetables and flowers.  It is definitely a labor of love.  I am enjoying listening to them plan out their gardens, seek out worms and get good and dirty.

Last fall we doubled the size of the garden.  I am not sure if that was too ambitious but I am looking forward to trying a larger variety of vegetables and flowers. I am also learning more about how to pair certain vegetables together.  Here is a wonderful link about companion gardening.  So alas, as we plan and plant, you may notice some longer breaks in my blogging as spend more time outside.  Hope you are able to do the same.
Here are a few photos to share of my beautiful little helpers.
