Planting the Garden

We always wait until Memorial Day weekend to plant so last weekend, Lee turned over the garden one final time and we got to planting.  While we always plant our staples - tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini and yellow beans - this year we added carrots at Elizabeth's request.  We also planted sunflowers, which the girls really love when they come in.  Both Elizabeth and Emily are enthusiastic planters so we tried really hard to let them plant seeds with us, but some of the seeds are so tiny that they either didn't make it or there are about 15 seeds in one tiny spot!

It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it!
