Spring Plantin'

Jack, Blackie, and I have been very busy planting flowers at our house lately. It has been mostly fun, but a little frustrating like when he decided to dump out the pots of dirt instead of helping fill them. It is always cute though!
He had a little trouble keeping those jeans up though. If you look below his coat, you can see a considerable amount of diaper exposed.

Blackie isn't much help, but she is sweet and entertaining.

We have been planting in the afternoons when we are waiting for Jess to get home from work.
We have also been drawing with chalk.




Jack was lots of help putting rocks in the bottom for drainage. He enjoyed moving rocks from one container to the next. I just tried to keep up.

Finally, we finished all the planting and only suffered a few casualties, so overall it was a very successful venture. Now we spend our afternoons watering the flowers. Jack has his own watering can and he is lots of help.


Besides being extremely helpful, he has a natural posture for watering.

He really likes the plants on my steps I rescued from Kearney Floral. I need to add a plant to the bottom where he is trying to step. The day we put the plants on it, we were picking up and he was playing around, I looked over and he had placed an empty plant container that was the perfect size right to fill the empty spot. I was very impressed with his eye for detail. He's very interested in getting the water and likes getting sprayed by the hose.And we planted a little Basil so we can have it fresh all summer! So as long as we can keep him and the dog from digging it up. Bon Apetit!
