It is also a time to watch for how your plants are emerging for a new season. It brings enjoyment to us as we see new bulbs poking through the soil. How about the new growth and leaves on our trees and shrubs. Share them with your kids. Let them look for new plants sending out new shoots in your garden.
Some annuals perpetuate themselves from year to year through self-seeding.
Imagine the new revelation your kids will have each year with some of those types of plants. It is an idea for the kid in all of us, to find the new beginnings each spring. For more on annuals and self-seeding. Reduce, Re-use, Recycle. Those are common words these days, for us, and our kids.
