A Garden

The Kids have been asking for a while for a garden but John and I have black thumbs so we keep putting it off. We finally decided to give in and give it a go.
The weekend before Easter Nathan and I went to a local nursery Sierra View to get some supplies and much needed help. For anyone local to Fresno/Clovis I highly suggest Sierra View, they will help with everything, are so nice and have great prices. They have a whole kids area with swings, monkey bars, chicken coop, chicks that will soon become chickens and also a Children's Garden that they offer for free where the kids can come out and plant and take care of the plants as they are able to and Sierra View takes care of them when they are not there. They also help teach them about gardening in the process.

After we picked out plants
Nathan and I had a coffee date.

We got our plants home and waited for Easter weekend to plant them. We got Bell Peppers, Purple Carrots some flowers, some seeds as well for a future weekend. 

The Easter Bunny must be very smart, he knew we needed garden supplies and fill a special basket with them for the whole family and special ones for the kids in their baskets. 

We spend Easter Morning planting our new garden. Some nice flowers in the front yard and the rest in hanging baskets in the back yard ( we don't get sun on the ground) Nathan said it was the best day ever and Kahlan loved scratching the dirt. Everyone is having a great time taking care of our plants and watching them grow. 

And yes I know now that those carrots need a deeper pot, that is being worked on as well as a planter for our seeds.
