Our veggie garden has been a bit of a bust so far this year. I tried to use some of last year's seeds for onions and carrots which so far has not produced any sprouts. But we have also planted beans, more onions and lettuce and are hoping that those will sprout in the next day or two.
To make us feel better today we filled all of our pots with beautiful flowers! The girls got to pick out (some) of the flowers without any guidance or coaching from us so we got some that I wasn't expecting but it has lead to very interesting and fun pots around the house.
The girls got to help with all the planting and filling of pots. We were very excited this year to fill our pots with soil from our own compost bin! No store bought potting soil for us this year. We did occassionally get a few egg shells in our pots which the girls thought was hilarious.
After all the plants were potted then came their favorite part...the watering!
Happy flower planting!
So lovely! Sorry to hear that your carrots and onions were a bust, but here's hoping you see some lettuce soon! :)

They look lovely. What a shame your veggies aren't taking off.
