In an old pair of boots!
Coco has taken an interest to gardening so we thought we'd plant some flowers just for her. I had this old pair of rubber boots in the basement that were torn but that I hated to throw out (they should be recyclable!) and we thought it would be a fun way to decorate the sandbox area. I planted marigolds and bee balm (also known as monarda, bergamot...) because they both have the reputation of deterring mosquitos (I believe the marigolds are also an ant deterrent). I'd probably need a huge patch of these plants to really be effective but maybe every bit helps? Anyway, I thought the result was cute and playful and Coco is tickled pink to have her own plants to water. Now if I could only teach her to weed the flower beds...
