Isaac and Alyssa get home from school early on Fridays. Today when they got home we started some flower seeds for this summer. Alyssa planted sweet peas and hollyhocks. Isaac started a tray of celosia and he will start a tray of tomatoes seeds in March. All the kids picked seed packets out from Lowe's to grow this spring. We love starting the plants from tiny little seeds and watching them grow. Isaac has said about four times this afternoon that he loves wet dirt. After we plant the seeds in dirt and water them, we put them in a tray and stick the trays under florescent lights so the seeds will sprout into little plants.
Here are a few pictures of the two youngest planting their seeds. The very fuzzy picture is of Alyssa and Issac waiting for their seeds to grow. They know seeds do not sprout up in a day, they were just really excited!
Daniel and Nicko have to plant their seeds this weekend so I am sure there will be a few more pictures of wet dirt!
