Planting Seeds...we think

Oh, the bliss! Our seed order arrived!

We quickly, like the same day, had to plant!

We carefully filled our containers with mud. And planted two plants that were just for Miss Pear, in addition to two pots of tomatoes and one of little round carrots!

Miss Pear loved breaking up the mud!

We carefully patted down the mud - Miss Pear loved this part too, and was very, umm, enthusiastic! Yeah, that's it!

Then we planted seeds.

And Miss Pear wanted to dig again - in all three pots.

So we think the seeds are still there.

And we are going to have some mighty crooked rows of carrots...

And I am glad we planted two tomato plants in each pot because hopefully that means one of each is still there....

And I wonder if the basil in the center of the tomato pots is still there...

And, literally, Miss Pear and I stepped inside the house onto the mat and had to remove many articles of wet clothing - for Miss Pear this meant, well, everything, for me it just meant my jeans which was not too bad considering that Miss Pear had a squirt bottle and at one point the hose.....

The crooked rows, possible AWOL seeds, and wet messy clothing is all okay!

The plan was for this to be a fun project with Miss Pear, who was absolutely delighted (as were we, this was such a fun time!). Miss Pear, who at the age of 22 months has planted her first garden...assuming the seeds are still there of course.

Haha, so you're in for some surprises! What was to be tomato might become carrots - and those supposedly carrots could end up growing like basil :D

Yeah, I'm sure the seeds are still there :D
