Spring is officially here at our place.  I planted garden this morning as part of our science so it is now official.  The boys and I planted 4 lbs of onion sets, regular peas and sugar snap peas, lettuce, spinach, carrots, and radishes.  We are so excited to get our food into the ground and growing.

Before planting, I walked down to our neighbor's home to see if we could expand our garden.  (We use a part of their 2nd garden and they have told us in the past we could use as much of it as we wanted Because all of their children are grown and gone with the exception of one son.  I wanted to make sure the offer still stood.  As much as my boys have been eating, we need to put up more this summer! LOL) 

I am really looking forward to this summer.  We are going to have a lot of fun digging in the dirt this year and since we are studying Botony, gardening will be extra fun and special!  LOL  Oh and this will be the first year that we let some of the plants go to seed so we can save seeds for our own seed collections!  What fun!!!!
