Planting bell peppers

I was reading on a friend's blog about her gardening efforts with her kids and was having one of those "I wish I was in America" moments so I could plant a garden with my kids.... and then kinda realized that you don't have to be in America to plant stuff. :) So here are my first attempts - growing bell peppers with the boys.

You can plant bell peppers with just the seeds from a bell pepper. I figured this out a couple years ago when my house ladies at our first house kept asking to take the seeds from my bell peppers. I finally asked why and they told me about planting the seeds; I tried it and we did get a couple small ones, but the weather was too cool. Shouldn't have that problem here. :)

Elijah planted seeds from a red bell pepper in nice straight lines. Caleb had a green bell pepper and made a couple big holes and scraped all his seeds in.

After a couple weeks, it's easy to tell whose planter is whose!

I need to thin them out some.

Bell peppers are expensive here, so hoping we can get a good crop! Will keep you posted...

Ezra's Hair

I love Ezra's hair. I have resisted cutting my baby's hair as long as possible. But after lots of "what a beautiful girl" comments from our new neighbors, we decided it was time.

Ezra before.... hair fluffed from food and sweat.

Getting the hair cut. He did not move a muscle. I think he was too mad.

The finished product. The neighbors say now we have 3 boys.
