pictures I took back then so these aren't the same anymore but nevertheless...
our favorite-
the sugar snap peas....
cucumbers....
the begining of zuccini.....
grape tomatoes....
and our PIZZA GARDEN....
did I tell you about the pizza garden?
I decided to plant a pizza garden for the children to grow. One with plum tomatoes, garlic, basil, peppers, and onions...
So I picked a spot in the sun that didn't have very fertile soil...and tried a new way to plant a garden. I gathered up OLD cardboard boxes- I found old pizza boxes so I thought they'd be appropriate. I had the children help me rip up the pizza boxes and place them in a circle. I got the hose and started watering them down so I could place layers of dirt and compost. As I am watering, my daughter sits down,rests her chin on her hand, shaking her head, concerned for me, very concerned for me and says,
"Mommy, can I talk to you?"
so I look up thinking the worst....
"Mommy, I saw this on t.v. I'm so sorry to tell you this. You can't grow pizza from pizza boxes- it doesn't work that way!"
and she bowed her head in a serious sadness.
I wanted to laugh, but this was a VERY IMPORTANT TALK.
SO I showed her the dirt buckets....and the seeds....and explained my idea...using cardboard as a barrier that would compose....and how I couldn't plant the dough...
And a smile came on her lips as understanding formed in her eyes.
"thankgoodness" she said. "I thought you lost your mind!"
So our pizza garden is dedicated to the one I love- and in hopes of never loosing our minds....
(and the red thing hanging? one of our hummingbird feeders....)
