My Gardener

As I've blogged before, our 7 year old (almost 8!) LOVES to garden. Every Saturday he plants 8 new seeds outside, and he is constantly watering, weeding, and checking on his plants. He also helps prune my flowers and keeps the whole yard in good shape. This gene definitely came from his Grandpa! Last weekend he helped harvest our sweet potatoes - we planted these about 2 years ago and kinda forget aboout them. :) We now have some MASSIVE sweet potatoes that I have to find something to do with! We also have a few heads of lettuce, black beans growing, and our banana trees are starting to produce!
