Planting our own flowers!

We had such a fun time planting flowers at home today!  Since we don't have any garden space, I bought two window boxes and some seeds.


Delaney had wanted to plant a bean from the frozen green beans we had from dinner the other night - so I promised to get her some seeds to plant.  The boxes came with special condensed soil/peat moss disks - just add water, then plant the seeds inside each mound of soil.  Rather ingenious...We couldn't believe how big the disks grew as they sucked up the water we added.


When the weather warms, you lift out each separate mound with the seedings and put them in the ground.  We'll just keep them in our window boxes.  (I expect to give them to our neighbor who has a green thumb when we move out.  She keeps lots of plants in the stair well.)  Can you believe it only took 3 days for the first seeds to sprout?
