Vondie,

I also love gardening. Eilish helps me in there but I always make sure

she wears gloves. Today we are off to plant a few hindered trees with

the school. When she was little we couldn't keep that child out of

dirt. I was like a magnet to her. Can they do stuff in there that

doesn't involve dirt I.e. trim things. My kids love to trim all the

roses.

plants

Hi guys,

Here we go. I am getting a little confused about all the plant stuff.

I have GOBS of plants in the house. I am questioning whether I should

rid them or not. I was told at my clinic that it wasnt the plant as

much as the water standing under them. The water can grow all sorts of

funky stuff. So, I try not to have them in the pots that have the

saucer under them that holds water. I water them a little at a time. I

also change the soil about 1 a year. But, I never thought about the

soil carrying anything.

Also, I have a HUGE garden. Probably 20 X 60. Both of my boys love

to help in the garden. I can vegetables all summer long. So, now I am

wondering if I should keep the boys out of the garden. I didn't think

about the dirt carrying things. (Other than just gross dirt) Well,

goes to show you I don't think.

I think that the plants and garden etc... are very therapudic to us.

It is relaxing in a way, to go out and be in the sun. It seems to even

calm the boys down. They love to go into the garden with a basket and

load it full. And to be really honest they are guilty of grabbing stuff

right off the plants and eating them. (I don't use pesticides, all

natural, marigolds and stuff)

Well, you all have made me take a second look at things now. I guess

I will call the doc and get his opinion on it.

Thanks,

Vondie
