Gardening With The Babies

Our little girls have a sprawling container garden out on the front porch that they tend all by themselves. It's doing surprisingly well. They obviously have more of a green thumb than me because every plant I've ever had, well, let's just say they all disappeared under mysterious circumstances.

Mae says I should tell you that these are her onions.

Chloe is growing this cilantro just for me, since I'm the only one in the house who likes cilantro. I had some with my tacos Saturday night, and let me just say, it was superb. Our children are clearly gardening prodigies.

And here we see a tiny pot of chives as yet unclaimed. They're going flowers too: moonflower, red hollyhock, sweet william, columbine, and something else who's name is escaping me right now. Which is strange, since I helped them plant the seeds.
