Garden of Will & Charlie

My seedlings are finally starting to grow their true leaves - the third and fourth leaves that indicate an ability to photosynthesize.  Flora childhood is so fleeting!  I'm planning to move them to a sunnier location this weekend.

For those of you running a bit behind, it is almost - but not quite - too late to start your seeds indoors.  So get a move on!  Check out these inspirational photos of my good friends, Will and Charlie:


Will, left, age 5, and Charlie, age 3, prepare the "greenhouse" by watering the pods.



Will, whose attention span is significantly longer, adds the seeds.  Can you believe he's never done this before?!  He's already planting like a pro - And so can you!



Planting is done!  Will is extremely confident, while Charlie's expression conveys a cautious optimism that will be familiar to my fellow gardeners...

Great job, boys!  Keep us posted!

  1. We are two days in and I am loving every moment. They have excitedly insisted that we check for plants every morning (Charlie has actually checked a few times each day). I can't wait til the seedlings arrive and we can really watch their progress. Thanks for all of the encouragement and help!
    Liz, Will and Charlie
