Kate and I walked to a nearby coffeeshop today to sit and splurge on a latter (for mom) and snack (for kate). Ms. Kate decided that the plants looked a little too thirsty and decided to take matters into her own hands.
She has been enjoying gardening with us at home. Especially the picking and eating part. The mosquitos are starting to make an appearance though and I am hoping that doesn't mean our gardening days are over. I also feel slightly guilty watering our lawn when water is so lacking here. But we finally got our rain barrels set up so we at least have that for the flowers and plants. It is working surprisingly well. I have also almost convinced Daddy P that we should gather our sink run off for watering. We don't have a garbage disposal so if we can find a plant friendly soap to use that shouldn't be too unreasonable. Plus we have a two sided sink so it would be easy enough to route one to the pipes and one to a tank. Daddy P says that will be his paternity leave project. Ha!
