My Birthday Garden

For my birthday I received a coupon from my dad for a garden, compost bin and rain barrel. So this week my parents came up to make good on the promise. I woke up and found them completely worn out from a hard day's work. I was feeling pretty guilty because I think they may have overdone it a little.

That evening after dinner the kids came out to help with the planting.
Drew and Jillian "working" in the garden.
Jillian is really pondering what her Papa is doing.

Planting some tomatoes.
Watering the marigolds. Drew specifically wanted to plant marigolds although I am not exactly sure why yet.
Doesn't that just melt your heart. Jilli and her Papa.

Jillian like watering (dumping) and would get upset every time she was empty.

Papa giving Jillian a bean to plant.
She decided to taste it first. hee hee
Papa telling Drew how to plant our green beans.
Giving him the goods, he decided not to taste them.
Planting our green beans.

Our ding dong dog drinking out of the watering can.
Driving the steak to mark where they planted the beans.
Hammer Hammer!
What a big boy!
Papa giving Lucy another drink.
Nana and Papa are coming back up this weekend to finish the garden and make the compost bin. The rain catcher is already complete. Yeah!
