Flower Boxes

I would really love to plant a garden. I’m not really sure if I’d be up for a large garden so I’m contemplating maybe getting a few window boxes around the house.  I could put one at the kitchen window and then maybe some by the bedrooms.  I know my daughter would love to help with a garden.  She is always drawing flowers.

If I gave my daughter her own flower boxes to take care of, it could teach her new responsibilities. We could plant the flowers together and watch them grow.  I bet she would love picking out the flower seeds at the store and filling the boxes with dirt.  I will have her be responsible for watering the flowers every day.  Maybe to help remind her I’ll make her a chart and she can color it in each day she waters the flowers.

Just to add a special touch to her windowbox I’ll hand paint her name on the one by her bedroom window.  I’ll let her pick out the paint colors and stencils.  Her favorite colors are pink and purple.  I’ll bet she picks those colors and also asks me to decorate it with sparkly stars.  I’ll have to take pictures of the boxes when they are all done and the flowers have grown.  I’m excited to see the finished product.
