All hands to the hammers



Yesterday, Steve and Thomas set to work building us a planter box for us to grow our vegetables in for summer. There was lots of discussion about how to put it together, and then the boys set to hammering in all those nails! Thomas was keen to be just like Dad and made sure he had his hard hat, safety goggles and hammer - suffice to say the fireman's hat was the hard hat and the swimming goggles became safety googles.
We'll be filling it tomorrow and planting our beans and broccoli. We already have lettuce and tomatoes in our old planter box. Needless to say it is my job to figure out what plants will make sure the bugs stay away - so it is off to the internet I go, beats the old library.

Here is the end result with our broccoli and beans planted in it!
