Pretty in Pink and Gardening

So this is the pretty in pink laptop!!! Isn't it pretty! It's a pretty baby, yes it is! Who's a pretty baby? You are! The hubby got it up and running for me. I keep adding programs that I want him to load and he just keeps loading them for me. What a good little IT hubby!!!


So, this is what Emma and I did yesterday:







First off, you must have the crown placed on your head and you must be in your pjs. That's very important. We found these little packs at Target in the dollar bin. It had the seeds, dirt, and little pots. And I bought one of every kind. First we had to soak the dirt pellet in a little water. Once the pellet soaked up the water, then we started to add the soil to the pot. Then I gave Emma a few seeds and then she placed them in the pot. Finally, she covered the seeds with the rest of the dirt. Voila! We have little pots filled with little seeds that hopefully will bear the fruits of labor. Because seriously it wasn't that hard to do.

Let me show you how many we did:

We planted marigold, oregano, strawberries, tomato, basil, chives, and zinnias. Yes, we have quite the collection going. We shall see how well they do in this Texas heat.

She's wanted us to plant flowers and vegetables all Spring and with the rain, and with the It Guy's foot being in a boot for 8 weeks due to a broken foot, we didn't get our raised flower beds. So we have to just deal with the pots for now. Of course, I still have plants in pots from last year that are still thriving. So who knows, this might work out better than the raised beds. Hopefully soon, we see some progress!
