Create a family memory you can renew each year; start planting with your kids

April 2, 2012 by Melissa Chapman Leave a Comment

Every year in the spring, almost like clockwork, as soon as it feels the least bit warm my kids begin to ask me when we can get our annual planting underway. Don't get the wrong ideas- we're not shlepping out the hoes and tractors , rather we are replenishing  the flower boxes that adorn three window sills of our house.
