Getting ready to garden!

I have always loved plants, and I especially love growing plants that can be eaten!  My boys are really enjoying the miracle of plants, and I am thrilled to include them in the process!.  Right now they all have boyish enthusiasm, and I'm fully embracing it.  I remember well my days of loathing the garden when assigned to pick piles and piles of green beans in the baking heat while bugs seemed to jump out at me constantly.  Those days will come for these guys, no doubt, but for now, I'll enjoy the joy that they are finding in the simplicity of nature.

Last year, at this time, I was quite pregnant and exhausted; as a result, we didn't start many plants from seeds.  This year; however, we have been more prepared.  I should correct myself; they have been begging me since March to plant seeds.  I had to hold them off for a few weeks!  Some plants have spouted, and we did a second planting yesterday. We are all so excited!
