Here is the Plants vs. Zombies garden!

This is a project for my kids - they are totally into the video game Plants vs. Zombies, and once when a question during school asked, "If you could plant anything, what would you plant?" they immediately got all excited and started describing the Plants vs. Zombies garden they'd plant based on the video-game. As they were talking, I was staring out the window at the empty square of weeds outside our school area, and lightening struck!

In the back is sunflowers (the source of energy in the game), then tomato bush plants and carrots, then watermelon, then in the front purple basil (which my son calls "Poison Plant"). They weeded the whole area themselves, dug up the earth, outlined it with rocks, and planted their plants. A few sprouts have come up already, and they are so excited!

Plus, I'll treasure that sign forever as a special memory when they're grown and gone. =D
