Planting the seeds...

Finally got round to planting this year's seeds... The girls have a little patch at the end of the garden which I dug up for them last year to plant flowers in - they wanted to do it again this year so we bought three packets of assorted (easy to grow!) flowers from Asda (they always seem to have a special offer on this time of year 😄) for them to sow.

I prepared the soil for them by digging up the weeds and raking it (they did pulling up weeds at the allotments earlier this week, and these weeds were quite deep rooted and tough! So I thought it was fine to let them just play in the garden while I worked... lol), they pre-watered the soil with their watering cans (again, from Asda! Kids-sized, metal cans for £2.50 - one pink, one orange, one turquoise), had a packet of seeds each to spread thinly over the ground (I helped the toddler 😁), I covered the seeds with the raked soil, then they watered the ground once more.

Finally, I stuck in the bird scarers (made from foam tulip heads and an old CD stuck onto a wooden lolly stick) the kids made at the allotments at the end of last year and which have otherwise just been cluttering our kitchen window sill. 😂

Now to wait... Insha'Allah they should flower by next month - so now the girls are responsible for watering them on all the days it doesn't rain, especially if it's hot and sunny!
