It's gardern time!!!

We started planting some seeds in the garden this weekend and the kids got to help. 

Mike helping the kids plant some seeds in the cold frame 

Anna got to plant the purple basil as she LOVES basil (she seriously just picks the leaves off the plant I have in the house and walks around eating them).  I love how excited she looks in this pic :) 

PEAS!!  Josh's favorite "right off the plant" snack!
