Gardening with the Kids

Our Veggie Garden

Our veggie garden will be a little different this year! Since I’m in my third trimester with the third set of twins this spring, I had to take a step back and let the kids take over the veggie garden! They have done every step completely independently!

Simplifying the Garden

We decided to go simple this year since I’m SO pregnant! Lettuce and Swiss Chard always grow easily in this bed so we’re going to have a greens garden! We got a variety of types- Buttercrunch, Romaine, Red and Rainbow Swiss Chard. Yummy!

Planting

Digging the holes and planting the starts.

The Starts are in!

They didn’t turn out the same as if I did it, and I LOVE it! The garden is so them. 

Growing but getting Dry

Time to Water!

We made watering bottles out of reused water bottles by poking holes in the lid. I just tapped a nail with a hammer into the cap, making sure the holes were big enough they would not get soil stuck. I learned this tip from the wonderful gardening volunteer at the school I taught in years ago. (Thanks, KP-your ideas are timeless!)

Cute and sturdy set of gardening tools! Perfect size for little ones. Ages 3+

These kid garden gloves are so great! They're sturdy and small enough for the youngest gardeners.

This wheelbarrow for kids was a gift from my mother in law. The kids all love them and we're so glad she got two!

This is such a cute kid gardening kit with a book, gloves, watering can, shovel rake and even a caddy to keep them in!
