Gardening Day

It was time to replant the window boxes at the house. We started at the nursery and both Cameron and Riley got to pick out the plants they wanted and we came home to each plant our own window box.

We had to replace all the dirt and then plant all the plants. Riley enjoyed putting his shovel to use and Cameron laid out the plants the way she thought would look best. There was a pink box, a mostly purple box, and then the rest.

In order to make sure our flowers are were healthy, both Cameron and Riley gave the plants a drink. Riley actually wanted to use the hose but we explained that the flowers liked to drink from the watering can. He then agreed so his plants would be happy.

When we were done, we put the ladybugs into the garden. Riley was very interested in the bugs but Cameron wouldn't let him touch them. She pulled his hand away saying "No! No!" Once he saw that she was scared of the ladybugs he wouldn't touch them. We put the ladybugs on our vines so they could munch on the aphids and enjoyed the rest of our day at the park.
