Maisey planted her own "garden" in a big metal tub on our patio about a month ago. She loved digging the dirt and dropping in seeds. And she was thrilled when the plants started to grow. She points out the window to Daddy every day, saying, "look Daddy, my plants are growing!"
She's so proud. I didn't think they were going to make it. I thought they were being eaten by insects, but I caught the dog red-handed (or red-toothed?) nibbling on her sunflower seedlings. It also doesn't help that, every time we go out on to the patio to play, part of her "inspection" of the flowers includes plucking either a leaf or an entire plant from the pot. A few of them came up roots and all, and I put them back. The rest are just casualties, I guess. Today she plucked the only two flowering nasturiums from the pot. However she tends to it, I'm just happy she's interested in gardening.
