A few weeks ago in school Zane's class had a unit on apples. They tasted many different kinds of apples and apple products: apple sauce, apple candy, apple pie and I think you get the idea.
We he came home from school one day with an apple seed and asked if we could plant the seed. I had to ask him where and he said in the field behind the house. I figured that was a good idea since it was home to soybeans at the time and is now full of onions. After we got home from school he went upstairs to find his shovel and get some water. Here are the pictures that go along with the planting.

The apple seed.
Starting to dig the hole.
We had to add some water as the ground was a little to hard to dig.
Added the seed. It is there trust me!
Watering the seed.
Covering it all up.
My little gardener all finished!
Zane does go out and check on the seed to see if it is growing. At first he was asking every hour if it was done growing. We aren't even sure if the seed it still there as they picked the field and have planted onions. Zane does want to help me plant a garden when we get back to the states and is very excited to grow his own vegetables. I am thinking that we might have to plant a small tree in our new home or start one so he can see how long they really do take to grow!
