A few weeks ago, we planted some pumpkin plant seeds in our backyard along the house. The other plants are doing okay, but are pretty small. This one particular plant, however, has gotten huge. It's way bigger than the others. We can't wait to see how the pumpkins progress and hope to have some by fall!
We also planted some carrots in May. The didn't really grow. Charlie insisted that we plant them. I didn't really want to, so I dug a hole and just dumped the whole packet in. He was happy and has only asked about them a few times. I just told him it wasn't a good place for growing carrots. He seemed okay with that answer.
A few months ago Charlie ate an apple at preschool all the way down to the seeds. He asked his teachers to put the seeds in a baggy, so he could take them home and plant them. So we did. I tried to explain to him that apples wouldn't grow from those seeds. We even googled how to grow apples and I explained it all. He still waited and waited for those apples to spring from the ground. Finally, he lost interest, and still, there are no apples!
We talked about planting a real garden next year-tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. I think the boys would really enjoy that. They love flowers and planting things.
