Starting Seed...

Last year, my parents bought Liam a pot and some plants with which to make a mini vegetable garden to go on our deck.
He had so much fun with it. We had some delicious cherry tomatoes and lettuce out of it. I think the rest of the plants got crowded out by the lettuce.....
Anyway, I wanted to grow some again this year and thought it would be fun to start from scratch. So last night, I bought some carrot and pea seeds at the store and this afternoon we set to work:

I tore the lid off one of my many egg cartons and had Liam fill the egg-cups with dirt from his pot:

We then gave it a good sprinkling of water and set it in the window sill behind my computer because it was WAY too windy today to set outside. Liam kept asking me how long it was going to take for the seeds to grow...it will be fun to watch it all happen. We will keep you all informed of the progress!
