Planting with my Sprout

Ambitiously, I have decided to plant a full garden this year even tho we're not sure how our soil conditions are. But we have the seeds and the willingness to work hard, so why not? So a couple weeks back I started some seeds indoors, incubated them, and have had a healthy batch of sprouts emerge and leap forth at the sunlight! They're nearly ready for outdoor planting now, I've been hardening them off. I just hope our trees don't block all the good rays from my hopeful garden!

And...... PLANT!

Evangeline has been a good little mommy to the seedlings. She's daily interested in their progress and care. "Mommy, a pants need drink!" She thinks they're always thirsty. Yesterday, I potted a few larger, stronger sprouts and put them outdoors. Eva saw that some of the plants were missing and panicked, "Oh no! Oh no! A pants! Oh no!" and began looking for them. I reassured her that they were safe and happy in their new pot outside in the sun.
