Levi and I planted our spring garden today. Planting with kids has become so much easier! Now seeds come in seed tapes. Paper tapes with the seeds in them, perfectly spaced and held that way. Once you plant them and water them, the paper dissolves and the seeds germinate. It is great and almost foolproof for kids. The real proof will be in about 2 weeks when we see if they come up but I have high hopes for lots of little carrots and peas. During the digging, we found a bunch of grubs. Who knows what they were supposed to turn into, but Levi rounded them all up and corralled them on the platform we use to feed the birds. Never shy to take up a free meal, we had plenty of butcher birds and a few baby ones.
We had Zac and Alex over for most of the day, because Di has had surgery. She went in on Thursday and the kids were getting a bit stir crazy. There was the change in schedule for a start but then all the stress of having Mum in hospital. So the kids wore off steam playing all day and then they all stayed up late to watch Riverfire.
