That time of year...

It's that time of year again (or at least it was about two weeks ago when we did this!  OK, so I"m just a little behind!)  But it's time to plant our garden.  Our "big" garden is in the back of our yard (it's the only real place we can have a true garden) and it gets quite a bit of shade.  So, the only veggies that will really grow there are "greens" and onions.  We've decided to plant a few types of lettuce & 3 types of onions.  We'll do tomatoes later in the spring (up against in the house where there is more sun.)   This is one of Anne Marie's favorite times of the year.  She LOVES to help plant the garden (and anything else for that matter).    We've even got tiny little onions & lettuce coming up out of the garden as of today & she came running in the house to make me come outside to see.  She's very very excited!  It's such a fun thing for her & daddy to do together and it's such a great way to teach her about our earth.
