A bit o' cauliflower

So.... my dad works for a seed company, and every once in a while he gives us something special for the garden!  Last year it was 5 acres of lettuce seed, this year it was 232 cauliflower seedlings.   Needless to say, we only  planted 45!  Our little garden just couldn't handle any more that that.

The kids were super helpful, they took little rakes and turned up the garden, while I filled the wheelbarrow with fresh compost from our tumbler.  We actually had quite a bit!  We added the compost to our garden, and the kids jumped on the shovel to to help turn it under.  They were super!  Then Lyla and Spencer would pluck the seedlings out of the tray, while I dug the hole.  They would place the seedlings in the hole and "tuck them in for the night".  It was sun down when we were finishing... so that was pretty cute!

I was surprised at how much the kiddos helped out.  They are getting bigger everyday.  Sometimes it surprises me how capable they are!  Well this is our little garden....
