In the early days of “running” the home preschool, I reached out to my local Ace Hardware to purchase supplies for starting seeds from home. The staff were great! They put together an entire kit (dirt, trays and seeds) for me that I could pay for on the phone and pick up curbside.

Let’s all pause and be grateful for these amazing local businesses helping us through these times. I am trying SO hard to buy from them instead of Amazon right now. But I digress.

So Ezra and I spent one afternoon out on the patio a few weeks back planting these seeds. And watering them and watching them grow has been SUCH a delight! I seriously think we’ll do this next year as well!

Ezra helped me choose the seeds (green beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions and lots of pink flowers), and we’ll let these get a bit bigger before planting some outside in the garden next month and gifting the rest to neighbors.

Anyway, just a fun little project. I also have been pondering getting some a butterfly kit, but they are a little more spendy, so I think I’ll wait to see if school is coming back or not before I do that.
