Wordless Wednesday- Meet Chili

Meet Chili!!

Making the hole for Chili!!

Carefully (as much as a 3 year old can!!) putting Chili in the hole!!

Time to water!!


Ta Da!!  Chili is in the pot!!

Making a mud pie in the empty pot!!


15 minutes later Chili was surrounded by mud pies and wombat stew!!
 I had no plans of taking photos of this however when we were walking out to plant Chili I picked my camera up off the floor (thanks kids) and the big one said I should take a photo with him and Chili and it went on from there!!  5 days on and Chili appears to be thriving!!  The big one is very committed to Chili and has been checking him everyday, watering him and waiting to see some chilies growing!!  I cannot wait to cook my chili and garlic mushrooms with a home grown chili!!

Linking up with My Little Drummer Boys for Wordless Wednesday.

  7. Growing plants with kids is so much fun. However a little hard to explain at times why there is no food on it the next day.
