a little gardener
A little dirt, water, and a shovel. Hours of fun.
Transport from one pile to the next.
Avoid trampling flowers.
And look cute at all times. Do you like that makeshift fence in the background? Took a trip to a hardware store (not the one on Josie's jacket-- I haven't found an Ace in Vancouver yet). I had to figure out a way to keep little movers and shakers away from the road and little squirrels out of my garden. So far so good. Though, Josie is the one who yells at and scares the squirrels away when she's sees them sabotaging my crops.
It's cold in Vancouver, despite appearances.
We sure it would warm up a bit! The sun comes out like this once a week or so, teases you for a couple of hours or maybe a day and then its back to rain rain rain and pretty cool temps.


I wonder if this garden will grow (this is the plot of land outside our house- not our community garden plot). I've added a bit to the flowers already growing. We've got strawberries and beans and garlic. The garlic is doing great... the beans, we'll see.
But I've been a bit overeager in planting my seeds. Although I'm following suggested planting times, it's brrrr chilly here still (though I shouldn't complain, as the rest of Canada has cool spring temps as well).
I've been planting inside, hoping to get a head-start! And the seedlings seem to prefer warmer temps.
But these kiddos, I'm not sure if the warm or cold seems to bother them much. Getting outside and getting wiggles out is a priority!
