So as a GREAT activity this year for Savanah and I do while Gracie takes naps, was to plant a garden and care for our little garden. (Grandma Hill and Grandpa Hil also helped tremendously because their daughter does not have a green thumb) anywho. . . Savanah decided she wanted to plant pumpkins and carrots, and then I wanted zuchinni, squash and tomatoes and Daddy wanted peppers, peas and rhubarb!
So in a nutshell - we have this garden, our first time garden and WE ARE ACTUALLY growing stuff! It is so amazing and fun to watch! We have have tomatoes already they are green but give them a few weeks and Daddy ate the first bell pepper two days ago and Savanah and Gracen have become a fan of raw rhubarb.
It has been a great language opportunity for Savanah. It has definitely expanded her vocabularly with the different plants, weeding, watering, bugs, sun, lots of water, cleaning off the veggies, waiting until they are ripe etc.
If you have never planted a garden but would love to do so and are nervous because all of your houseplants you have killed off - DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED! Gardens are such a miraculous thing, they pretty much grow themselves.
