4H Garden Time

It is 4H time again! I got a relatively easy plot this year. We got it weeded and fertilized in one day. The next week Mommy spent a long time putting up my new fence (in the rain!). She even helped me install a gate so that Emmerson doesn’t have to step over the fence all the time. This week we planted an eggplant! It is called a “fairy tale” eggplant and it supposed to be both purple and white on the edible parts! I have a few new friends at the garden so this year is looking to be super fun!

I have already started working on my project book. I am doing one called “Creepy Crawlies” and it is all about bugs. The first project was to build a bug from stuff around the house. I worked really hard to make this guy.

He even has compound eyes.

I think he most resembles a fly!

I am also in another 4H club this year, Brooker Creek Explorers. It is a new club and I am really excited because it is all outdoors and we get to hike and explore nature. I am doing a Forestry book for that club. Mommy isn’t sure where we will fit in school work this year with all these clubs and activities!!!
