Today, under the close supervision of the Tiny Overlord, the two minions started our garden. Minion #1 planted seeds in peat pots to give them a head start (okay, I admit that I did this while the Tiny Overlord was napping; it seemed an exercise that was fraught with opportunities for her to throw dirt and seeds around the entire house). Minion #2 spent most of the afternoon tilling the garden plot, raking out the dead plants into a compost pile, removing rocks (oh so many rocks) and trying to level the area. I brought the Tiny Overlord out for regular supervisory visits.
She enjoyed the tiller; she's really showing a preference for engines and vehicles. I think we have a gear head on our hands! But she also had quite a bit of fun playing in the dirt, only some of which got eaten. All in all, it was quite a productive day. Our garden plot is ready, the seeds are started, she got to play outside and get properly dirty. I love springtime!
