Let Me Sprout

It’s been just a little over a week and our tiny plants are growing like weeds herbs, flowers and vegetables. Planting the seeds was super easy and making sure they get ample lighting and don’t dry up, secures that they will grow big and strong. I planted some basil, chives, parsley, impatiens and petunias, while Pinky selected pumpkins, watermelons, and sunflowers. (This girl does everything big.)

Every day, she makes a point to tell me that everything is growing tall when she gets home from school. It’s part of her after school routine actually. Come home. Throw her coat and shoes on the floor. Check on the plants. Knock one of the plants over. Run away from the mess. Continue to recap the entire experience multiple times during the rest of the evening. It’s pretty cute that she is so enamored by them, but sometimes I could deal without the resulting muddle.
