Little Seeds

Last month I planted seeds for our garden this summer. I ordered my heirloom organic little seeds from Grow Organic.com. This is my second time starting my seeds. It is so fun to watch the seeds start coming out of their shells and growing up to be big plants. It's one of those little things in life that I enjoy doing, and doesn't take that much time.

I took one class from Wasatch Community Gardens two years ago and took lots of notes! It's a good thing I took notes or I would've forgotten how to get those seeds started this time around. That year Spencer built me a sweet light stand for the plants using pvc pipe. Thanks Hun! I was sad when I couldn't do plants last year, but we were moving and getting settled into our new house. So, this year is the year of the garden, yay! I even remembered to make little tags for each garden pod so I knew what is in them. Last time I didn't quite do that and I got some of the plants a bit mixed up. oops.

Here is a pic of the setup. Everything is up on a table in my office. I put a beautiful (haha) beach towel under the whole thing to make sure water doesn't get on the carpets...

Schoko loves to look at the plants. Every morning and evening she goes up to my 'office' where the plants are and helps me turn on or off the plant light. It's so cute to watch her sniff and lick each of the plants. I always remind her to 'leave it' so she doesn't try to eat them. She is such a good pup and just sniffs the cute little plants. She also watches when I water them and I let her taste some water so she knows what's going on. What a good helper!

So that is some of what we've been up to around here!

Schoko passed her Canine Good Citizen test last night. We are so proud of her :) To be continued...
