Oh man, I wish I could start a vegetable garden this summer. I'm not so sure it's going to happen though, since we are also trying to finish the basement. One thing at a time, y'know? So to fill the void, I took the kids along to Home Depot and we picked out some herbs . Ben, Hannah, and Nina all dug in to help plant some mini-gardens when we got home.

Can't wait to chop up some fresh herbs...mmm...salsa...pasta...pizza...without buying those tiny expensive packages from the store.

And if we're lucky, maybe the fairies will visit our little gardens since they are just the right size. {The fairies used to come to our strawberry patch during the night and leave little presents like seashells and dimes, and the kids LOVED it!}
