Secret Garden

One day the kids came in from the backyard and asked me for some seeds because they wanted to plant a garden.  I gave them some lima bean seeds and black bean seeds from our craft closet that, up until that point, had only been used as decoration for our play-doh gingerbread men.  I also grabbed a few popcorn kernels from the pantry and then sent them back outside.  To our surprise, we've recently discovered their plants are actually growing.  It looks like a real, miniature garden back there.  I guess technically it is a real garden!  There was no prep involved - no garden soil, no fertilizer, no mulch.  Just two kids who dug a little hole in the red clay and did some sporadic watering at best and - voila!  We grew stuff!  They've already asked for a more legit garden next year.  I'm thinking with their green thumbs we'll be able to do quite a bit!
