We made how many tirps to the store? A few more that I had planed on but we got every thing we needed and got it all planted, during the sun breaks yesterday. The kids had so much fun they love the dirt now i have to try to keep them out of it! Lets hope that works. So we planted 13 buckets and it didn't take up as much room as it sounds like. My five year old Thea jsut had to have some thing, pumpkins and watermelon and sunflower I think the flowers will do just fine but the other two I dont' know but we'll see how they do. In our 13 buckets we have casper pumpkins, halloween pumpkins, watermelon,sunflowers,sweet yellow onion, lettuce, bell pepers, carrots and zucchini and two buckets of purple corn, I know crazy purple corn I got t from a friend and it really good, Donovan had to have little yellow and orange tomatos like Grandma has, so we have on bucket of each as well. Wrighting all that down now I fell like i took on to much, maybe we should have done a few buckets of the same thing not so many diffrent kinds of thing but, oh well it's done now. I also want to plant some sweet peas but the packet said to plant them in june so we're going to wait till next week to plant them. The kids asked last night if we could pick our veggies for dinner, I know there going to love gardening! Thanks every body for all the suport I love it so come see our garden in my photos! Thanks!

The reward comes from trying. There are always some disappointments, but they teach us to try harder the next time. Good lessons for the kids.
