Penny and I headed out to Lowes this afternoon just to buy a few bags of potting soil. Of course we ended up purchasing a little bit more. One of our goals this year is to teach kids how to garden and make sure they have plenty of opportunities to participate. I've seen some of this stuff the last couple of times I've been to Lowes and we just couldn't resist picking up some stuff. The kids love to water and I think this will be it a little more exciting for them. Its difficult for the younger kids - especially the elementary age to use regular size shovels and when they fill the watering cans up its hard for them to carry as well. Another purchase we still want to make is a small wheelbarrow that is kid friendly. We are also looking for a duffel bag to store all the kids equipment. We'd like to keep the gloves and tools in the bag and just haul the bag back and forth to the different gardens.
