Garden weeds never sleep.

Nina planted radishes a few weeks ago and was thrilled to harvest some today.

Nina looking through the seed packets as she plans her little garden.

Zig showing Sela how to plant the starts.

Now it's her turn.

Rollin was planting in the pumpkin/gourd patch. He picked these snake gourd seeds out with Zig earlier in the day at Molbaks. Looks like October is going to be pretty exciting for Rollin! 
Zig showing Rollin where to plant the seeds. I'm pretty sure he ran off and played "jump over the shovel" with Nina after this while Zig planted the seeds. Baby steps!

My chocolate mint is going strong. On my list of things to make is chocolate mint infused truffles. Maybe this weekend...

Evan woke up from his nap and took awhile to warm up to this whole gardening thing.
Looks like Nina is running from Mr. Cranky. 
I am 2, hear me ROAR! We love our Evan!
Even though these projects often begin with some complaining, they always end with dirty, happy kids. There is always lots of laughter, fun and plenty of horsing around. I cherish these days where everyone is content and happy to be home....when I can look across the lawn and see all my little ones traversing the yard, flinging wildflower seeds, and most importantly building bonds and memories with each other.

We're done!

your garden is looking fantastic. what a great thing to do together as a family. wish we were closer to share the harvest ;)
