garden

At the garden this week we planted the squash that sprouted on our windowsill. Rony also bought lots of seeds that were planted as well.
We found some tomato sprouts in the garden - it was very exciting to find them as we didn't actually plant them. Our stivia plant was not doing well in the sun so we decided to move it to the shade (if anyone knows how to grow stivia please let me know).

While watering the plants the bus got most of the water. Rony and Tal found this car in the wadi last week. It was the best attraction for the kids.

The garden is very exciting for all the adults - we prepare the sprouts, we try to read and decide where to plant what, we try to organize our garden (but it looks like everything is just going to grow where children are not digging). Children are less interested in the garden - they like to dig and play with mud and they love watering, apart from this it is just another day together playing and running together.
I believe that it is still a very good experience for the kids. They see us working and not just sitting and chatting in the park. They do dig and water the plants and they see the seeds grow into plants. I hope soon there will be vegetables to pick and eat straight from the garden and then, I am sure, kids are going to love it.
