About a month ago, we planted Libby's garden. This is a family affair -- Papa tills, Nana hoes, Libby plants and Roan supervises. Libby works really hard planning this... she gets gardening books from the library, makes sketches and shops for the seeds and plants. She's really good at weeding and watering, too. The best part of our garden is her motivation for doing it. Her plan is to give away most of what we grow "to people who don't have money for food". She's recruited Papa (former Engineer) to help her set up a table and make a sign for a vegetable stand. Libby is a very empathetic little person; she's always thinking about helping others. Pretty awesome for a 5-year old! We just replaced a bunch of boards on the fence...that's why it looks so patchy...
