Yesterday morning Alexa and I headed out to the backyard to get some work done. We put seed out for the birds then we planted some flowers. This was Alexa's first experience planting anything. She did pretty good. She didn't really get the part about putting the flowers in the hole I had dug but she loved the watering part!

Here she is taking a plant out of the package.....

then she places the plant on the ground...

and waters it well!













Then of course she had to take all her tools back to the garage!

So Garden Grandpa - how did she do?

I am thrilled to report that Alexa has a few new foods she will eat for me - she just started eating mandarin oranges and tonight she ate quite a few green beans. In fact she wanted more but they were all gone. In the past the best I have gotten her to eat was one green bean so I was not prepared for this evening. I was hoping for a couple and she ate a very good serving. Dare I hope for carrotts, corn, or peas in the near future?

Note to Garden Grandpa - how many rows of green beans did you plant?
