Tonight we had a 4H meeting and we got to make scarecrows to put in our gardens. We got there early because we wanted to get in and out before the big crowds.We put a long sleeve shirt and overalls onto a “t” shaped wooden stake. We stuffed him with newspaper and plastic bags. Emmerson was a good help with balling up the newspaper.
We added gloves and socks.
We used a water jug for the head. Mommy made the red hair. I glued on eyes and a mouth. We attached the head to the stick and then glued the scarf on so the neck wouldn’t show.
I was really proud of my new scarecrow.
My garden is doing GREAT! I have one inch high sugar snap peas. I THINK i have a few lettuce plants starting to grow. My eggplant is finally thriving! I am very happy with all the hard work and I am finally seeing some results. Next week we plant the root veggies. I picked carrots for my root veggie!
