Well, Obe Wan is convinced the Zombie Apocalypse is around the corner. We must PREPARE. Now, mind you, the kid does not eat vegetables, but he has decided we need a garden, so we will have our own food. When we lived down the street from Windy Knoll Tree Farm this was not a concern for him as his grandparents (mainly his Mimi) will cook for him all day and every day, but now that we do not have a Mimi who owns a bar & grill (according to her grandsons) we need to prepare.

| Planting our seedlings |
Each boy got to select three veggies of his choice and plant a row. They had to create an opening and place two seeds in each whole. Then they had to cover it with the pellet dirt. You would have thought I had asked them to do something difficult. PLAY IN DIRT. PLANT A SEED. OMG. They moaned, complained and wanted nothing to do with this activity until I brought out the baby spoons to use as shovels. They thought for sure they were their Wichita cousins' spoons, but I reassured them, they were their spoons from when they were babies and I was saving them for my grandkids. Obe Wan decided to plant tomatoes, peppers and peas. J-Bird went with cucumbers, zucchini (for bread) and green beans. This should be a fun experiment. I am okay if I have to go to Lowe's and buy plants. It was fun to make them do this AND it was Obe Wan's idea in the first place!

| Before we started playing in the dirt |
Our weather is starting to warm up. Today was 72. I think the ground is almost to a consistent 50 degrees. Time to start planting!
