How Does Your Garden Grow?

Today when I arrived to pickup M at preschool, her teacher told me, for the second time this week, that she had received a "Garden of Manners" award.

It started out as a little bit of "grass" taped to the board, but each time one of the kids displays their manners, they receive a flower or a bird to add to the garden.

I am so proud of her.

And, in other garden news, we decided to plant one this year.

There's a potting soil commercial running right now where the lady says,

"This is where plants come to die."

She took the words right out of my mouth.

This is what we have so far....the tomato plant we bought that size. In the soil is lettuce, zucchini, and cucumbers; we're planning on adding strawberries, spinach, and chili peppers.

I love our planter box. Let's hope it doesn't turn out to be a grave for our veggies.
