A Bit More Planting

As if a full day of planting at the cabin wasn't enough for us we decided to finish planting our garden and a few other things while Gram and Papa were here.
Ethan and Papa got the last garden box ready for plants. They added in the compost and fertilizer and broke up the soil...all ready for planting.
We had a few friends over when the planting started and they jumped right in to help...you have to love these girls! Avery and Leilah may look like princesses, but they know how to work!
And many hands make light work!
Ethan and Jackson really got in to working together and being big enough to plant by themselves.
Ethan and daddy worked til the bitter end and got all the tomatoes, squash, zucchini, cucumbers, pumpkins and peppers planted.
While we were at it we also planted my old fashioned rose bush from Grandpa Richard's farm. It looks beautiful next to Grandma Lucille's red poppy!
Finally, as is tradition, we planted my Welcome planter for Mother's Day! It sure feels good to have all our planting done!

A really great family activity. Glad we could be a part of it. I still love the balerina gardners..So cute:) I bet Ethan checks the garden every day for new surprises...
