Look at that face! I cannot be more in love and everyday I just want to bottle it all up and save it for years from now. Children grow so fast.
We are anxiously awaiting for spring now around here. Norah wants to build a "fairy house" outside this year. I told her we would. I keep looking for decent little how-to's on just how to build these minature homes for our fairy friends, but I am not finding much.
I am planning a larger garden this spring, too. Last year we had 4x4 wooden raised beds, and I had 2 of them. They were nice and all but whoa did the tomatoes spill out of them fast and my basil was just boundlessly flowing. I would like to grow more this year...broccoli, onions, more peppers. I am always hopeful that the cilantro I plant will grow but it ALWAYS wilts and fades away. I dont know why cilantro doesnt like my gardens, but it never does.
I bought a great/fab book at Marshalls on gardening plans and so I am anxiously hopeful and optimistic for a great gardening year. Norah will love puttering around and seeing everything grow, and the other kids like picking stuff. Nick is great at running out and grabbing me handfuls of this or that.
Mary mary quite contrary....how DOES your garden grow?
