The gardening gene must be one of those that skips a generation. Dax and Addy have grandparents on both sides who are avid gardeners with beautiful yards and parents who are just grateful for low maintenance perennials to keep the yard looking decent. We don't yet know what Addy's interests will be, but Dax is definitely enthusiastic.

At daycare they planted some bean seeds in ziploc baggies and hung them on the window to watch them grow. After a few days, we brought Dax's home and transplanted them into a pot to give them more room to sprout. It was exciting to watch them grow (and he thought it was SO cool that the plants would curve toward the window every time we turned the pot)! They were quickly outgrowing that space, though, so we decided to move them to Grandpa Phil and Grandma Caren's garden.

Dax also got a carrot pop for Easter from his Auntie Cree so they added that, too.

And, Grandma Caren had taken Dax shopping at Gertens to pick out some other veggies to plant.

Addy was taking her supervisory duties very seriously

It was fun to get it started and we cannot wait to check on his plants when we visit (and to eat some of the yummy vegetables that grow!).
