City Garden...

We promised Ella Maria a garden for the summer.  She was so excited, she would talk about it everyday.  She got a garden tool set as a present...and she was eager to put them to good use.  Sunday after breakfast we went to the garden store and got all we needed.  Flowers, strawberries, oregano, scallions and leeks.  This are all things we though we would like to have...enough for our limited space out in the terrace.  Strawberries for the summer are a must have (Ella Maria loves them), flowers always make everything pretty, oregano is kind of our multipurpose herb, leeks to have them as "baby leeks", and scallions...well I just like them.  We are happy with the selection.
So this morning we got up to get our garden planted...it was sunny with a cool breeze.  Beautiful spring morning.  We got everything planted, and we all had lots of fun! Ella Maria got to use all her garden tools, play with dirt, water the plants, and had a little plant dance...she was so cute!
