And so today - at last - Miles (our adorable 3 and a half year old grand nephew) came to LBF to plant his garden bed. He told me months ago that it would be "lovely" if he had his very own planting bed. The wind and late spring snows foiled our previous plans for planting. Today was our day! He arrived with his Dad, his hat, and 7 packets of seeds he had been collecting one at a time since February. He knew exactly where to find the hand tools - in the garden mail box, of course! With oodles of help (from Podgie & Melli, his Dad, and me) Miles planted his whole row! Then watered it...and himself. Wont' be long before his little row will be filled with sparkler radishes, perfect carrots, zinnias, peas, and corn! I don't hold out a lot of hope for the pepper seeds or tomato seeds, but we planted them anyway.
It was a great day!
