If you grow up on a farm, you should have a garden, right? When we were planning on briniging the girls home we felt that there was no way we'd have the time or the energy to plant a garden. Sam and I let almost all of the the beds become part of the yard, cleaned our garden tools off and put them away.
Well, I misjudged these sweet little people! I'm putting their time and energy into a little garden that's all their own! It already has leeks and rosemary growing in it, but the girls have been growing plants from seeds since March.
The girls did great helping to pick up all of the pulled weeds. C pushed the wheelbarrow to the chicken pen all by herself! When we first brought them home, neither Charlotte nor Flora Lin could push it without a good bit of help from us. Now they both can push in anywhere with a full load!
Even FL pushed it around and filled it with bricks for fun (with a cast on!).
Once the big weeds were pulled and fed to the chickens, I tilled the rest and let the girls help me.
C couldn't believe that I was letting her play in dirt and get dirty. She kept brushing her feet off!
She was very hesitant to put her feet in at all.
I had to get in it and show her all the fun that can be had in a squishy pile of dirt!
FL surprised me and enjoyed it fully with no hesitation!
They played in it for a long time...
I can't say it was good clean fun, but it was fun!
They even made some wedding cake for Aunt Mere!
Finally, finally those little piggies got good and dirty!
It was a great day and I found out I have two eager little gardeners that are fantastic helpers.
Isn't that how the feet of a farm girl should look?
We will update you as our garden and our little ones grow!
Yay! I love wedding cake! Thanks, girls!
