Week 2.. Tell your problems to the potatoes

So, a slight side note before we get into this weeks picture show.. After I took these pictures I couldn't help myself I had to do some "weeding" or de-grassing. Well, while doing so I had this adorable 4 year old that wanted to help so bad.. a.k.a Emma, however I was worried the potato plants would be up rooted so I had her dumping the weeds and grass in the compost and while she waited... well, Emma LOVES to talk and sing so.. I told her to talk to the potatoes. And at first she wasn't sure what I meant by that, so I said tell your problems to the potatoes, tell the potato how much you miss you brother Hayden.. It was awesome she did great! Now on to the weekly adventure we call the family garden and Nordlund Manner :)
