  Gardeny Goodness, With Flowers

  
  

  (with a thrilling photo of our laundry line and other stuff)

  
  

   The kids and I have planted:

  
  

  ~ peas

  
  

  ~carrots

  
  

  ~lettuce/s

  
  

  ~chards, spinach

  
  

  ~radishes

  
  

  ~broccoli

  
  

  ~brussels sprouts

  
  

  ~celery

  
  

  ~ two kinds of eggplant (12 plants)

  
  

  ~red cabbage

  
  

  ~27 tomato plants

  
  

  ~9 pepper plants

  
  

  ~leeks

  
  

  ~onion sets

  
  

  ~herbs

  
  

  I still need to put in the corn, beans, squash and melons this afternoon (the pace is dependent on how much “help” I have).  I am letting go of the part of me that desires tidy rows; I want the kids to truly be a part of the garden.

  
  

  Perhaps we will have less vegetables (or more) or crooked rows or bare spots. 

  
  

  But it will belong to all of us.
