The Young Gardener

I happened to notice pansies at the local grocery store, so I picked up a few — a few for our place and a couple for Nikki Dee to plant at her house. I thought she might get a kick out of planting a few flowers. I'm not so sure that she thought too much of the process, but we worked it out.



I pre-dug the holes and filled the watering can while she was napping, so all she had to do was plop the pansies in the holes. It was quick and easy, and I hope she'll enjoy watching their progress ...



... and watering them. Yes, that's what she likes best.

  1. Hi there!

    Aww, so cute! Kids love watering plants. I know because I've been there! LOL.

    When she grows up, maybe she'll enjoy Gardening a lot and tend to the flowers and plants.

  6. The water and dirt may be more fun than the flowers. I need to get some pansies too.

  8. If only I'd had someone to do all the prep for me when I began gardening, there'd be a riot of pansies in my wake. Alas!
