Gardening and Sparkling

The weather is beginning to warm up and some of my little seedlings are starting to grow.



So, I thought this would be a good time for hubby to get our little garden area prepped.

My poor little garden bed so overgrown it was like a mini jungle!!



In addition to clearing out the box we used last time, we also decided to clear out more space this year to try to grow some more things.



So, hubby had to rip out all the existing grass and weeds, till the soil and add some bagged compost to help it out.





It was a lot of work - especially since he did it all basically by hand - no power tools of any kind!

There were many discoveries to be made in that overgrown mess. Hubby found a snake living there.


Gigi found a couple of earthworms. I told her that those worms were good for our garden and that I wanted them to live there. Unfortunately she wanted to "play" with them. She picked them up and carried them around in the yard until she "lost" them somewhere. Poor little worms!




After all of that "adventure" and hard work, my two busy bees decided to cool off by going "sparkling", Gigi's way of saying "sprinkle".
