Max's garden

 

Each of our three kids has a little garden plot to call their own. They are aligned side by side in the back yard, along the fence that separates them from their neighbor friends. Our biggest boy, Max, has had his garden the longest. It's gone through lots of different plantings by now, from vegetables to annuals and perennials. This year I enlarged the three kid-gardens, and helped Max plant new perennials. He's looking forward to seedlings from the Japanese morning glory that volunteered in his garden last year, as well as a couple of strawberry plants and strawflowers I promised him. Now if only he'd keep up with the weeding through the year!

The picture below shows Max's bounty from his first year as a gardener. He's much bigger now!
