Lil Pig loved looking at all the plants we got, and she could hardly wait to plant them. She loved just looking at them.
Lil Pig said she felt like she was walking through a forest when she was next to the plants. She is so funny sometimes.
We planted the gray planter first (we got it from Ace Hardware). These are the strawberry plants. She is making sure all the plant food is mixed in with the soil.
Here is another view of the strawberry plants. You can see a little red dot with a premature strawberry on it. Lil Pig wanted to pluck it off and eat it but we told her it wasn't ready and wouldn't taste very good. It's a good thing she didn't eat it because the next day it was moldy!
This is when we had to put a little bit more potting soil on the top. She helped to scoop it in.
And here she is looking so happy with her strawberry plants.
We could also plant some stuff underneath, so we planted cherry tomatoes, big beef tomatoes, crookneck squash, and zuchinni. Lil Pig loved how the plants were upside down. She couldn't stop looking at them.
Just look at the entranced look on her face! She's so content!
Next we planted the seedlings in the Topsy Turvy planter. Lil Pig helped scoop the potting soil in here too.
Here is a better shot of what the planter looked like once it was finished. Lil Pig was happy to see all the plants sticking out of the sides. She is going to help us water them each day, and we'll be sure to take pictures of the process. Hopefully we will have a lot of good fruits and vegetables to share once they are all grown.
