She loved going to the nursery and looking at the various plants. She also enjoyed painting the clay pots after being introduced to the craft idea by her daycare provider. We planted vegetable seeds, cacti, ferns, strawberries and tomatoes. My son, now 15, has a green thumb at a very early age. He loved to get deep into the soil and look for the richest soil in the yards. he believed that is where all of the worms lived. He also loved planting, even to this day.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14143743147556083482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1040094306206601621.post-15402958773975870362009-06-22T10:30:32.045-07:002009-06-22T10:30:32.045-07:00I need that $100 gift card.

Maybe a little lawn fertilizer too. I will probably need some garden gloves to pull out some of the larger weeds. When my colleague went on vacation, I killed her plant so I need to get a plant to replace it.

However today I spent a couple hours at the Natomas location looking at all kinds of equipment (BBQ, lawnmower, appliances, window finishings, trees, landscape ideas) because I am closing on my first house in 1 month. It is a new construction house and the backyard is a blank slate and it all seems a little overwhelmign.

Having always lived in apartments I am finding I don't have anything and there is SO much to buy. I'd like to start a garden but don't have any shovels, rakes, tools, or any supplies really. Also just need seem power tools for around the house and more. Things I always took for granted that my parents had I find I don't have. There are so many things you only have to buy once in your life but it crazy you have to buy them all at the same time. Take care.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07788215138634360407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1040094306206601621.post-43459256529147402042009-06-21T10:07:55.769-07:002009-06-21T10:07:55.769-07:00$100 could come in handy I can finally get the woo...$100 could come in handy I can finally get the wood I want to make my raised garden and to keep critters out.
