May 17th Our Earth Day

It was a bit late, but we had our own little Earth Day today.  Small as it is, we planted some vegetables in a garden.  Since we are renting, we had to limit the size and damage of a garden.  The only thing we have ever grown has been strawberries and tomatoes.  This year McDonald's gave out some seeds, so we are attempting to grow what we got, lettuce and carrots.  Ilaiza has some cucumber seeds in some type of soil replacement packet that she did at school.  We will see if they sprout and may plant those too.  

Hopefully we get a lot of lettuce to eat this summer!










We also got some tree seedlings from school.  We planted those in pots so that we can take them with us in the future when we move.  I took pictures of the kids next to them and set a challenge to see which grows the fastest, the kids or the trees?
