The inadvertent farmer {kinder gardens}

SIMPLY CREATE GIVEAWAY IS STILL GOING ON….SCROLL DOWN FOR THE POST

I used to try to get some alone time in the morning before anyone else woke up…Big Brother never lets that happen. Instead of being grumpy about it (which I was) I am learning to enjoy our early mornings together. Often we are out in the field as the sun rises – watering the garden. I know one day he’ll be gone and I’ll be up with the sun watering the garden and I’ll miss my little morning buddy. I wonder if he’ll always be an early riser? Will he water the garden with me as a teenager? I think I would surely love that.

Gardening has become a family activity and joy for us. The boys love digging and planting…and eating. I love all that the boys have learned from gardening…lessons beyond how a seed becomes a plant.

Have you heard about Kim’s Kinder Gardens? It is a gardening contest with kids!

This is what Kim wrote about it:

“This contest will be a way for us to purposely plan a way to involve kids in the garden.  Whether it be giving kids their own raised bed to plant or helping them to grow a sunflower house. You can design for your own kids, your grand kids or even a garden space for the neighborhood children…any kids that would love to learn to garden with a caring adult!

So start thinking about some creative ways to include children in the garden.  Make it fun, make it edible, make it all theirs, and get ready to share!”

Isn’t that a great idea! I am so honored and thrilled to be serving as one of the judges.

You don’t need a garden to participate…visit Kim’s blog & the Kinder Gardens Contest Details to find out more and to see what others are doing!

On a side note, Kim has a llama – I am not sure why that is so funny and cool to me. At least visit her blog to see that!

Kim just reminded me about her camel…how did I forget that? A Camel and llama…she takes some super funny pictures of the camel…go see him too!
