Little gardeners

Last week, Sam made a pumpkin out of construction paper. On the front, his teacher had written "What's inside?". You lifted the top flap of the pumpkin to reveal some pumpkin seeds Sam had glued inside. Sam was VERY proud of his pumpkin. In fact, it's still sitting on the front hall table. It's one of those items that I'm not allowed to throw away.

The artwork isn't in its original condition, though. It has two fewer seeds glued inside. That is because TJ and Sam peeled those seeds off and planted them out in the garden on Saturday. I knew what they were up to, and let them have their fun. On Sunday after church, they hurried outside to see if any vines were growing yet. I don't have the heart to tell them that it's way too late in the season to grow anything.

Bill didn't want to have much of a garden next year. But I think two little people will be convincing him that the garden needs to include a pumpkin patch.
