Sprouts
My apologies for not posting in a few days. We’ve been very busy here with spring, friends, and the every day things that go along with an absent Daddy (in the field again).
On Friday, the children and I started some seeds in improvised pots (gallon milk jugs, apple juice bottles, and miscellaneous other containers destined for the trash and recycling bins). The weather has been mild and wet, so I’m just keeping them outside on the deck.
On Monday the littles and I spent all day helping our friend get ready for a baby due next month. We’re all very excited to have a new baby “in the family.” My kids already think of her daughter as their little sister. We ended up staying all day, and got to admire her beautiful seedings and garden. She’s got a major jump on me. I don’t know how she gets so much done with a one year old and a tummy. You can see her tray of seedlings on the table above.
Yesterday I went out to check on our seedlings, and discovered, to my utter amazement, that most of them had already sprouted — in only four days! Here are our sunflower sprouts, which we’ll plant all along our fence.
And here they are today!
hello, just wondering how you are doing I’m checking every day your Blog, hope eveything is o.k. Bought my Granddaughter some seeds after they sprouted she put them outside with her Mom and forgot to bring them back in at night and we had frost, she was very upset, but we started new ones. She calls me every time they grow a little, one more generation who will love to garden. Kerstin
