Ah, it's finally April! We went ahead and bought most of our flowers and herbs for the season yesterday, so I potted them today. I have NEVER gardened before, ever. I killed everything, even cacti growing up, so I just gave up and resigned myself to a life of grass yards. Well, I figured what the heck, I'm in my twenties now. Why not give it a shot?
The big haul
Geraniums
Bleeding hearts and some begonias. I have wanted bleeding hearts ever since my grandmother had them in her garden when I was a kid. I thought that they were beautiful, magical, and terribly romantic. I'm so excited to finally have some!
Hot pink gerber daisies about to bloom!
A cute leafy plant and some more begonias for inside
A couple of herbs-- I use these all the time cooking, so I figured why not just grow my own?

Then we had play gardening! (Rice from here.)

Snack break!
Ready to go again!

Offering me the flowers
This activity was so colorful and fun :) Definitely a spring staple!
What a great idea for her!
ReplyDeleteFor sure! She was so into the texture of the rice :) And it was super easy to make too.
