Planting some Veggies

This week along with our spring theme, we did some planting. First we planted some vegetable seeds which required planting indoors prior to planting outside. I put all my seeds in front of the kids that required early planting, and let the kids pick. We ended up planting Green Peppers, Tomatoes, Cucumbers and Watermelon. The kids were pretty excited to choose their own pot, scoop in the dirt, poke the holes and put in the seeds. I have them on the front porch in hopes of some decent sunlight until they are ready for the garden in the back. I am very excited that we are able to plant a full garden with the kids this year now that we have a full back yard. Its exciting. Later in the week we planted "sensitivity" plants. the branches and leaves contract when they are touched either with a finger, a bug, and I believe its direct sunlight... or maybe its dark, lol I forget off hand. Either way the kids had a great time.... unfortunately they take about 16 days to germinate, so hopefully their excitement will last that long. So here are some pictures of us planting our vegetables.
