Beginning the Garden

This past weekend we spent some time planting seeds for our summer garden.  Last year, we were either given plants or we bought them.  This year, we're hoping to grow our own plants.  Some have already shown a little life above the dirt!  So, they are by the sunniest window in the house now.  We were just given a florescent light (it's big huge!) which we'll probably use most of the time to maximize light exposure.

Getting the seed packets out.

Jack's one job: to pound some holes in the bottom of our "planters."

Dropping in cucumber seeds.

Covering seeds with dirt.

Kayla wants to have her own garden.

Little helpers.

I think we'll do another set in a few weeks but for now, it's a good start.
