I'm not a gardener. Sometimes I have big ideas for veggie gardens, fruit trees, spring bulbs and cute flowers, but let's be honest - if something can't survive in our yard entirely by itself, then it dies. Weeds come up and sometimes we pull them out, sometimes we don't. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to say that I have a really immaculate and pretty garden and maybe I will one day (ha!) but right now we like to spend our spare time with the kids and doing fun things together.
But, thankfully we have garden minded kids that get us sorted now and then. See those two massive terracotta pots, two photos down? Seriously filled with dead plants and foot high weeds for the last year until James wandered out on the deck last weekend and asked if he could weed them. Um, yes!
Weed he did, with Bella joining in on the planting action too. Then it was replanting time - some of James' cactus plants that he had growing in the front yard. I love that I have garden minded kids and you know the funniest bit? Half way through, James told me that he was using cactus plants because he thought they'd be a great choice for me - no watering involved. You know what? He hit the nail right on the top of the head!
What about you - are you a gardener or a plant killer, like me?
