Well, it may have taken awhile but summer is finally around the corner. It's been a strange spring with a lot of rain (the running joke is that Minnesota has been moved to the Pacific Northwest) but a couple of weekends ago we finally had a beautiful day to plant the garden.
The Little Scoot is at an age where he loves to help. So he supervised while I dug a trench around the new garden plot in the backyard, and then he helped the Coffee Queen tie up the fence. "Help" is, of course, a very loose term when you're three.

Digging is about as far as my gardening skills go. The Coffee Queen is the one with the plan. I just point the shovel where I'm instructed. Last year the side garden was decimated by rabbits and so this year she is determined to protect her hard labor from them (hence the fence).
The Little Scoot was given a corner of the garden for his very own and even picked what went in it. He has a tomato plant, some green peppers, and a few other things. He helped Mommy plant while I did some other yard work and I think it's safe to say he had a fun day. :-)
