The Process and End Result

The potting was a long and dirty process and she completely LOVED it.



We had a constant supervisor.



We planted Sunflowers, Rainbow Silverbeet, Beetroot, Carrots, Spring Onions, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Italian Parsley, Button Squash, and French Beans.







This is the end result.



And finally, we bought a Viola and a Cactus, and for our little furry friend, a small pot of Cat Grass.



Very satisfying - looking forward to seeing some great results.

Before

We only have a small backyard so our gardening potential has always been limited. Until now, we have had a small number of potted plants - some tomatoes, chillis, a few herbs and more recently eggplant and capsicum plants.





After watching the DVD mentioned in my last post, Little Miss D was very excited about doing some gardening so we headed off to the shops to stock up on supplies. Check out the next post for the during and after photos.

The Inspiration



So I found this great kids gardening DVD from our local library created by Gardening Australia. When I put it on yesterday, I was really only thinking it would provide some educational information for our daughter but it provided much more...


Barbie Party

The Barbies (and Ken) are currently set up in our lounge room, all wearing their evening apparel. According to little miss D, they are having a party!

My Beautiful Funny Girl

"Mummy do you want to see my funny face?"

Lately when I pull the camera out, she jumps in front and this is what I end up with... full of energy, my funny girl.

On a rare occasion, I manage to capture something like this.... relaxed and natural, my beautiful girl.


My beautiful funny child - what a treasure she is!
