Gardening, dirt tasting, learning...


Jeff took Bodey this morning and let me sleep in. It was wonderful.

This afternoon we went and bought our kitchen window (YAY!) finally found my yellow squash plant I've been searching high and low for, bought more dirt, got Starbucks coffees--half off! Bought a few cute pots to plant my squash in and then went home to start on the garden again.

Jeff slaved away on the pallet garden this afternoon. Who knew a pallet garden would be so difficult!? So far we have planted 4 different types of tomatoes (2 being cherry tomato varieties!) yellow squash, zucchini and jalapenos. I still want to plant a few more tomatoes, cilantro and a whole bunch of herbs.

Bodey discovered dirt today, and he thoroughly enjoyed it. He was fascinated by the texture of both the dirt and the plants. (he kept stroking the squash leaves!) He even did a few sample tastes of the dirt. I think he enjoyed it...because we had a hard time keeping him from eating it.

At one point, Jeff was hammering on the pallets while Bodey sat by watching intently. Finally he crawled over, grabbed a tool and started pounding on the pallets with his daddy. So sweet! :)

We called it quits when it started dumping rain! Hoping to finish the last few things tomorrow :)

For now, Bodey is asleep. Jeff and I are going to watch "Chronicles of Narnia" while stuffing diapers and eating chocolate ice cream with pretzels in it and maybe some Hummus on the side... <---totally a pregnant woman's craving, right?!
