Another gardener
The carrots that Shecklet #3 planted earlier in the summer actually grew!

Watermelon surprise
All four Shecklets planted various seeds last spring and we had varying results. Strawberries didn’t make it, zinnias bloomed in late summer, carrots are TBD and watermelons grew vines, but we didn’t see any fruit. That is, until Jake went to pull out the plants. This is what he found:
They weren’t edible, (white inside, not pink) but it was exciting to find out that they did, in fact, grow!
Endings and beginnings
Today was Nolan’s last day of preschool. I can hardly believe his first year of school is now finished. He has grown and changed so much over the school year. We are so proud of all that he has learned, tried, and done. I know the success of this past year is due in large part to the wonderful teachers he had. He came home with a DVD full of pictures from the year along with a memory book – such a wonderful way to get a snapshot of the year (no pun intended :))
In the evening, Jake decided to have the boys plant our garden. Once again, we’re giving it a go. We planted corn, sunflowers, cucumbers, spinach, peppers, tomatoes & pumpkins. We’ll see what pops up (and what we end up being able to eat!)
