IT’S TIME TO GET READY

“Summer’s here and the checklist is back!” Emma smiles.

Daniel stands up and stretches. “Alright, let’s get this show on the road. Wait, which checklist is this again? Or is this for summer lawn care?” Emma rolls her eyes. “It’s the summer gardening checklist, of course. We’ve got work to do to get our garden and yard into summer condition!

Daniel nods and cracks his knuckles. “I’ll go get the kiddos and have them help. It’ll be some family bonding time and we’ll get everything done faster. They need to know how to do this stuff anyway.”

As he goes to do that, Emma looks over this checklist-

  1. Plant flower beds, vegetables, container plants, and hanging baskets
  2. Put some houseplants outside for the summer so they get more natural sunlight
  3. Fertilize crops and existing plants

Emma hears heavy feet coming down the stairs. “Alright everyone, let’s get started! I’ll assign jobs, we’ll work together, and have fun! It shouldn’t take too long with all of us helping.”
