Mums the Word...Chrysanthemums that is
This last spring I begged Andy for some mums to plant in front of the house. Karis "helped" me crawl around planting them while I was off my right foot. She loved helping me water them during the summer. Though I have a sneaking suspicion that what she really loved was getting wet herself!
Finally, we get to see the fruits of our labors. Karis loves to go around beheading the flowers, then hand them to me saying "no-no, no-no". I hope that gardening is something she will learn to love and we can do it together. We'll see though. Much as I love it now. I hated it as a kid! I'll start her growing fun things early on, and not only have her spreading fertilizer and weeding. Hopefully she will have fun. Zinnias are colorful and easy to grow. We'll start with those I think.
