Fairy Gardens

When you're gardening, it's very important to select your attire carefully.


Pants, apparently, are entirely optional.



Our tiny garden has sputtered, but has not died. We only had one tomato and one tomatillos plant make it to actual size. So now we don't have fruit. Nevertheless, they are gorgeous plants and fun for the girls to care for. We are learning how to weed, water, and watch for bugs. All very important things. Today we added some seeds to the bare spots.



We're hoping we got these in the ground in time to make a big, fat Jack-O-Lantern. Fingers crossed for fresh pumpkin pie...



If nothing else, we'll learn to spot fairies. Giggle.
