Sweet Starts

With Seamus at a classmate's birthday party, I gave Liam the choice of doing anything he wanted this afternoon.  Do you know what he chose?  Rock climbing?  Trampoline jumping? Swimming at the wave pool?  Nope.  Planting seeds.  No kidding.

Liam is super excited to get our 2020 garden underway.  He planted three types of onion seeds (Walla Walla, Norstar, and Sweet Utah) and several types of sweet and hot peppers.  The onion seeds went directly into soil and under the grow lights. 

Meanwhile, the pepper seeds are slower and more difficult to germinate so they went inside Ziploc bags in damp paper towel and then on a heat mat.

Liam did the whole thing himself with me directing and Alistair supervising. 

There is nothing better in my books than a kid who is keen to develop a green thumb!
