The second visit was because Katharine had to find man made and natural/ organic fertilizers, as well as the ingredients and how to use them. We bought two more plants that day as well as new pruning shears, and just had plain old fun enjoying the beauty of the plants.
We didn't buy any of these, the peony, Bougainville, peach tree and gnarled tree where just very pretty to look at.
Today we finally got around to potting and planting. Earlier this week the kids hung plastic rags in the trees and shrubs. All 5 had a great time working away in the yard with me.
The flower bed is organized chaos. I let the kids pick out the plants and we ended up with a mix of begonias, alyssum, cineraria, snap dragons and marigolds! I love how excited they get over flowers and planting!
