Last weekend we got our vegetable garden going and the boys were very eager to help. Especially since it meant digging in the dirt.
James is my little dirt magnet. He loves all forms of dirt and is happiest when there is dirt around and a shovel. He spends a lot of time in the backyard sitting and digging in the holes that Zoey digs. Once we got the garden plot weed free and ready for planting he was fascinated by so much dirt to dig in and wanted to play in it each time we went outside. Our plants better grow quickly to avoid being squished by a curious boy. I ended up putting tomato cages on almost all of our plants.

Nathan is becoming a garden pro with this being his third garden he has helped with. He was really excited this year and very proud of it once we got it all together. On Sunday he told his primary teacher all about it because they were talking about seeds in the lesson.
What we will be eating this summer:
Tomatoes (my favorite!)
Butternut Squash
Zucchini
Green Peppers
Cucumbers
Pumpkins (perfect for Halloween!)
Nathan was really helpful and the day before he and James even helped me get my flower pots ready.
James was just happy to be in the dirt. (:
