Back in February, mom had a fun idea to take a gardening class at Thanksgiving Point. So one Saturday morning she and dad and I headed off to learn about growing plants from seeds. Dad attended a general gardening class at the same time. We left with several packets of seeds, a small tray of seeds already planted and big plans!
A couple weeks later we got together with several more supplies and seeds and got sowing! While we planted and labeled our little babies, dad and Mo* made the light contraptions we would use to give our little seedlings warmth and light.
And what do you know, within a few weeks pretty much everything was growing. It was so fun! I kept a vigilant gardening journal and checked on my "babies" every morning. Every time something new would pop up, it was like Christmas! My tomatoes really worried me. They were what I was most excited to grow from seed and they were one of the last seeds to germinate. But up they came and they did very well.
Now lest you get too jealous and think I am some kind of magical green thumb, I had several failures and over-watered and under-watered a couple times. So . . . for the most part it was a success and hopefully everything survives the transplant in the summer! I'm so glad mom thought of this fun idea! We had so much fun checking on each others plants and progress. I still check in on her little plants to see how they are doing! What a fun hobby. I feel so agricultural!
