Little Gardening Helper #WW
Tuesday, January 24, 2012 Posted by Aleksandra Nearing
We are preparing for spring with a fresh layer of pine straw. For you Northerners, that's the Southern equivalent of mulch.
Adam puts out about 50 bales in the spring and fall. Luckily for me, I break out in a rash if it touches me so I am saved from this process. The rash is my story and I'm sticking to it.
Lily has stepped up and taken my place in the process. Such a good helper!

It looks like Daddy has a great helper! Pine straw makes me super itchy too!

I use the rash excuse too! I just supervise the placement of the flowers and let him do the rest. =)

Wow that is very interesting. I would love to see a picture of your flower beds with the straw.
I am going to start a new trend here up north and use straw!
I love Lily's hat.
What is it a frigid 60 degrees down there? lol! Stay warm!

I think I may develop that rash this year ;)

I love her hat--so cute! Isn't it funny to be preparing for spring in January? Love the South! :)
January 25, 2012
How fun. I used to love preparing for winter, that is, until we moved to San Antonio where, apparently, there is no winter. I'll bet Lily was so proud of herself. :)

What a great helper!

Love the hat! I can't wait till it's time to put out mulch, that means Spring is here. Thanks for stopping by my blog :)

Happy WW!

She is adorable!! I love it when they want to help.

I love watching kids at work. It is nice when they help us out. Brad loves helping mow the lawn. Not sure what Emily likes to do yet...she just grumbles when asked to help with anything...oh, those tween years!
January 25, 2012
Ain't she sweet to be out helping dad!
January 25, 2012
Little helpers make everything more fun!

What a cute little helper! Don't you just long for the good old days when chores were actually... fun? :)

I'm gonna have to get that rash problem, too. Smart!
January 26, 2012
Awww, she's such a good helper!
January 26, 2012
If I wasn't in NYC, where our nature comes in the form of potted plants, I'd probably come up with a rash too :)
January 26, 2012
What a wonderful helper!

Oh, she is a good helper.
But, I have to say, it's not a Southern thing...in Texas, we used mulch, too...my husband and I were dumbfounded the first time we saw people spreading pine straw instead of picking it up here!
