I get this itching in the spring to get out and get dirty. Now the kids are getting old enough that they really contribute and help out. Of course, they all want to spray, but Hudson's the only one big enough to pack it.
Planting onions has got to be the best job for the kids. They are big "seeds" and with a measuring stick for spacing, they can scarcely put them in the ground wrong. . . unless they get the upside down.
This year's crop of watermelon was leggy and out of control despite my diligent effort of rotating them and blowing fans on them. When people ask if I have a greenhouse I reply that I have a south facing window.
The kids enjoy helping Brent fill the corn planter with seed.
Sometimes delivering a few bags of seed can be tricky, but I can get it done.
Hudson tried his hand at rototilling, too bad his excitement wasn't as big as the garden. Of course being thrown around through a rocky, hard spot takes a lot of the fun right out of it.
