My Little Gardner

Raspberry vine
As you might recall, during COVID Camden wanted to plant a pepper plant, which we did, however we ended up killing it after we put a soap mixture on it to kill the aphids. So we never really experienced the fruits (or vegetables in this case) of our labor. Well, Camden was ready to try growing a pepper plant again and I needed some new plants for the back porch. So we headed to both Home Depot and Lowes and came back with more than we originally went for. And, honestly, if it were up to Camden, we would have come home with even more than we did! I tell you, he and I would thrive living on some land where we could have some animals and a garden . . . 

So  we came home and planted our plants in pots. I keep telling him that we can plant things in the ground when we get our new fence, but our back neighbor asked us to wait until June to buy the new fence, and with the way lumber prices are sky rocketing, I am afraid they aren't going to be ready to do it in June either. Anyway, we ended up planting a lunch box pepper plant, a strawberry plant, a lemon tree and a raspberry vine.

While Camden and I were home being little gardeners, Casen was with his friends being a scientist at Little Beakers. 





On a side note, Camden finally lost another tooth on Tuesday night. There was already another tooth coming in its place. It had been awhile since he lost his last, so he was due! He has several more that are loose, so I don't think it will be long before more come out.
