Preparing the Soil

The girls and I got ready to start seeds in the greenhouse yesterday. I'm thrilled to have potting soil left over from last year so I don't have to tie up my oven with dirt right now - not really something I could do with a blood clot anyway. All we had to do was fill our trays with planters and fill the planters with dirt. I had lots of willing help!

I told Heidi she was a good farmer. She made me laugh as she vehemently countered, "I am not a farmer, I am a farmer's WIFE!" Then, laughingly corrected herself, "Actually, a farmer's daughter".

Hannah enjoyed the dirt, but it was really the sand on the floor of the greenhouse that caught her attention.

I think we're all excited to be working in the dirt again.
