In front of our house, there are four large barrels. Every year I want to put flowers in them... but it never quite works out how I planned. So, this year, I decided to plant our "garden" in them! I planted beans, potatoes, pumpkins and zucchini (things I thought would be easy to grow). I was nervous, because I've never been very good with plants, but it's been a very rewarding experience! Step one was to clear out all the weeds:

I moved this planter by our door and planted flowers. I planted pansies, because that's one of my favorites.

This experience has been wonderful so far! It's taught me a lot about hope and the reward of hard work! I feel more connected to my parents and grandpa also, because they were such great gardeners! I'm excited to see what happens!
