Flora- I see what you mean. I think for me, it means trying to include veggies that are in the story...maybe some thornless blackberries if they'll do well in my zone. Since many of the vegetables I'm using are miniatures, including carrots, cabbage, lettuces, peas, etc. I think the kids would enjoy making it more like a story book garden. Peter Rabbit is a good choice for boys and girls and it's also about a garden! I know that's probably not very authentic, but I hope it explains what I'm trying to recreate. You have to take a leap of faith, when your background looks more like Montana than the UK :) Michelle- Great picture! I agree with schoolhouse, it's a great idea for what to plant along a fence. I like the beans or the morning glories with the zinnias. Schoolhouse- I do have some small gardening tools. Thank you for helping me remember that I had them put away from last summer's clearance :) Sylvia- What a cute idea for the sign and I bet the accessories were adorable! I enjoy gardening, but I think this area and the fairy garden are my favorites, just because it's so much fun to add all the accessories. I think the kids are going to love them...I know I do (LOL) Ianna- Thanks for the tip on the marigold garlands. I will definitely look that up tonight :)

Your most reliable source would be the builder of that model home. Since it is new there should be no problem finding the reference number.

My grandkids are having fun this morning with this. I text reminded them last night. This morning, they are having fun group texting about it. One forgot to say it first thing, so she is hoping that reciting rabbit 4x will salvage some good luck. I wonder if my daughters, their mothers, are participating or smiling and rolling their eyes about Grandma.

Success! Once again we were doing paperwork very late but I made DH pause and wait for the 12 o'clock chime. You could say it backwards tonight before midnight Michele. The last words out of your mouth before midnight tonight would be tibbar. Who knows it might help. But at the very least it's a fun exercise in remembering something. :-).
