Today was a gorgeous day. I decided that we weren't going to be stuck inside; we were going out to enjoy it. So, the "littles" went on the porch to play Play-doh.
While I was unwrapping their Easter Play-doh eggs, I noticed this warning. I had never seen it before. So, if you have a wheat allergy, DON'T EAT THE PLAY-DOH!!!!
These are the raised beds John Wesley put together for me. They look small, but they're about 4'X4'. John Wesley and I read "Square Foot Gardening" and decided to give it a try this year for our garden. Today was the day for the "biggers" to put them in place and fill them up.
The beds are filled with a mixture of 1/3 peat moss, 1/3 vermiculite, and 1/3 compost. Before you call the child welfare agency on us for over-working poor little Lena, you should know that that bag only weighs 16 pounds! :)
We definitely agree with the "many hands make light work" philosophy in this family! More hands = less work! More people = more fun!
Once all the beds were laid out, the kids filled them with all the various dirt ingredients and mixed and mixed to their heart's content.
Fun, like a big personal sandbox! Hmm, I have a feeling my bathtubs will need a good scrubbin' after tonight's baths!

We had a beautiful, productive afternoon, until the littles and I were chased of the porch by the giant bumblebees and wasps that wanted to share our space.
