See How They Grow

A couple of weeks ago I picked up these little nifty bags for the kiddos.

Thought they would have fun planting and watching them grow.

They did have fun planting. 

I did not have fun cleaning up the mess. 

Soaking peat pots in water is not for little boys between two and three.  I couldn’t get a picture of the mess..it had to be promptly tended to.

We put them in the window and waited for them to grow.  I begged my family to keep the door to this room closed because a certain dog likes playing in dirt.  And a certain little boy likes playing in dirt.  And eating seeds.

But somehow this little monster kept sneaking pots out.  We started with a dozen and are down to nine.  She also knocked some off of the ledge and the stickers/labels fell off, so I’m not sure what is in each pot.

I am glancing over my shoulder right now and noticing how much they’ve grown even just today.  (These pictures were taken a few days ago).  They are screaming my name to water them so I had better do that now!
