The Andrews - Life in Kanab

It is that time again! Spring!  Daron, Addy and I tilled the garden box which we had been throwing our food scrapes in since we didn't have a proper compost bin.  It seemed to work though!  Daron bought manure, peat moss and organic soil to add to the box.  The chickens even helped us spread it around.  Yeah, they kicked the dirt all around while looking for worms to eat!~  There were a lot of worms.  Once two layers were spread I bailed and painted the chicken coop.  Daron and Addy finished the garden then went and bought plants that you can have while it is still cold.  Peas went around the tree that we think is dead.  When we bought the house it had been unoccupied and in foreclosure so many of the plants and trees didn't get enough water.  We were happy to see all of the flowers that did make it!  We have yellow daffadils, a ground cover that has yellow sprouts, a beautiful cherry tree with white/pink flowers, some purple flowers that I don't know the name of and some tulips coming in.  Plants are pretty amazing.  It was very nice of Daron to tackle the garden especially since he doesn't eat hardly any of what it produces!  I am hoping the grass comes in all the way!

Addy had a "Wear your PJ's to school day!"

They also had Dr. Seuss Day and ate green eggs and ham. Thats what she wanted for lunch.  We had the eggs but no ham.

All the plants that surprised us this spring!
