Planting Herbs and Flowers

For Easter Ingrid gave the kids some planters with seeds.  There was one set for flowers and one for herbs... well, we finally got around to planting them and they took off!  They did so well so fast that we already planted them outside.  :)  We got to sample a little bit of Lucy's cilantro today and it was yummy!  Excited to see the rest of them grow!  I'm pretty excited actually because I kill everything, so I was pretty pleased they actually grew sprouts.  Probably because G did it haha.

At the beginning of the process!

They had to wait a few minutes for their soil pods to soak up the water and plump out

Lucy had the herbs

Planting some seeds

She was pretty good about opening up the soil packets to get the seeds in

Sprinkling them in

Dude did the flowers

He wasn't as thrilled about getting his fingers dirty at first...

but then he got really into it and did well!

The flower sprouted first so we got to put them in the sunlight

Then they grew....

and grew!  We were waiting to plant them but it kept storming out and we didn't want them to get pummeled 

Lucy's finally came up

And started taking off too!

Waiting for a good day to put them in the ground

We got Dude a little shovel and he was thrilled

He was transferring his flowers

That's what they look like so far

These are what Lucy's look like in the ground 

We got some succulents from Ms. Nanc and Lucy loved them!

That one was really fuzzy and Lucy loved 'petting' it

We decided that we needed to put them in the ground as our kitchen table was becoming overrun with plants!

Dude wanted to plant his Jade outside as well

Now our hosta friends have some other plants :)
