Kelton woke up near the end and got to paint a pot too. This picture makes me nervous for their clothes, even though I know we were able to successfully keep the paint off.
Then I let them put in the dirt, or potting soil stuff, or whatever it is. I think it's supposed to be mixed in with existing dirt, but that's not really possible here. So we will see what happens when we try to grow plants straight in this stuff.
Natalie filling up her pot. After this, I showed them how to plant the seeds (which Natalie said were really ugly) and water the dirt.
All finished! It was super hot so Kelton was not really in the mood to sit on the hot patio and have me take a picture. I thought their paintings turned out really good. Now we will wait and see if we get any flowers.

And on to the next project...our square foot garden. I have high hopes...

I'm glad you're starting some fun projects! There's always a lot I could get done during the day and sometimes I forget to stop and do something fun for the kids. Good luck with the rest of Spring Break!
P.S. I've heard a lot about square foot gardens lately and I'm curious how yours turns out. Post pictures!
We tried planting a few things in Tucson and what we learned is...they got fried. I found that it is so hot and sunny that they don't need ANY direct sunlight. So if you can plant under the shade of a tree, or set up a little sunshade they might grow better. Not that I have a green thumb AT ALL, so I guess I could be wrong, too.
Oh, good luck by the way! Way to jump into a project. I hope it turns out great.
What a fun project! Good luck with your garden! Part of me wants to plant one, but my record with keeping plants alive isn't very good...
