Is spring ever going to come?
by Embrace Country Life on 04/26/12
For the third time this week, Cliff and I had to scrape the ice off our windshields before leaving for work. It is April 26th! Is spring ever going to come?
We hope so! We are ready to put the plants we have been growing all over the kitchen in the ground outside!
Julia will tell you all about the seeds we planted:
"We used up some left-over soil from last year and took all the planters out of the hayloft. We also used the bottom of milk cartons to plant the seeds. We planted tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, green peppers and hot peppers.
My sister, Sarah planted strawberries in her tote. My cat, Crystal kept looking into her tote. Then, she started going into it and sleeping in the dirt! Her paws got all dirty so when she walked around she got the floors all messy!
My dad also bought blueberry bushes, grape vines, and raspberries. We have to water them every day. When I walk near the table, the light purple grape vine can touch my head. It is getting really big! The plants we planted are growing toward the window because the sun is there and they need the sunlight.
I didn't like to get dirty when we planted the seeds but after a few weeks I like to see them grow."
Just another day in the country...
