I just found wildflower mixes at Target in their dollar area!

I am sprinkling those this weekend.

I think it is worth the experience of planting with your kids. JDaniel and I got 5/$1 seeds at a drug store awhile back. We are going to plant them and see what happens.

Electric fence.  LOL

Just kidding :)  I am planning on planting this year, even though I know it will probably get ruined from my toddler and the neighbors dog.  It's just something nice and fun to do outside  :)

We always put a fence around our garden.  We try to work it into the landscape and have a gate to keep the dogs out. We have 3.  We just moved into a new house with a new yard and don't have a garden yet, so we are starting from scratch.  I'll be blogging about the whole experience.  I also found that with young children its great to start seeds with them (I've worked in daycare almost my entire adult life) so that they can tend to them and see how they sprout from a little cup of dirt.  I've also found a great little invention called an aerogarden that allows you to grow, vegetables, herbs or even flowers hydroponically.  You can keep it in the window sill.  Hope this helps.
