Spring planting

 Spring is here.  And we have started on our gardens.  We now have 4 gardens. Each of the boys have their own garden and then Brent has a few himself. (the picture above is of the kids gardens.  Colins is on the left, Joel's is on the right)  Colin was very excited about picking what he was going to plant.  He picked snow peas, watermelon, sunflowers, and squash.  I think they planted the snow peas and a few watermelon so far. 
 Joel really enjoyed planting his snow peas.
 He took his time and was very careful about placing each seed in the ground.

 I'm not sure how many ended up in the garden but we'll see if any come up. 
 We realized we didnt have any watering cans so this was our makeshift watering can.  I have since gotten the boys watering cans so they can water their gardens. 
 Joel has learned that Daddy's water barrel has a hose and its fun to water his garden with the hose.  
We'll be lucky if anything survives in Joels garden but at least he's having fun.
This is where we moved Brents garden to.  As you can see it still needs a little work.  But its doubled the size of his old garden and will hopefully produce lots of veggies for us this summer.
