Spring!!!

Happy first day of Spring! This is a sneak peak into the wonderful world of gardening. See those trays they can hold up to 280 seedlings. Meticulous work. These are vegetables that have been started for Toledo Grows Community Gardens. I'm excited to be working with Toledo Grows teaching Jr. Master Gardening Classes this summer. It will be a lot of fun!
We came to the greenhouses to check on Sydney's potatoes. The potatoes, named Kaylyn and Kennedy are the only potatoes to survive from our day off of school planting day. Somebody's pretty proud of herself and her potatoes. There's always a contest going on around here I'm just not always aware of what it is or who's winning. Syd she won this time!We had to stop in and visit with Josue. He was on the list of things to accomplish at the gardens for Miss Syd. He gave the girls each a gardenia flower, they are amazing, beautiful and fragile.
She did not know I was taking this picture. I like my tricky photography skills.
Paige needed two flowers. "One for me and one for Tate"
Then we went on an expedition to the compost piles. Yes, ask my girls where they want to go and they say compost mountains. We found all of this amazing moss, brought it back to the house and created new homes Paige and Sydney's littlest treasures.
