Carrot Tops
Pineapple Crown
Avocado Transplanted into Container
Drainage Holes in Coke Bottle
Planting Carrot Seeds
Planting Sage Seeds
Our avocado leaves were growing larger so we went to the Urban Garden plant store a few days ago. We picked up some potting soil, a watering can and the boys each got to pick a packet of seeds. We spent time wandering around the nursery with it's many varieties of flowers and plants. Sage pricked his finger on some cactus before I could warn him that there was a beware sign. Sage didn't want to plant Sage but Dagan did. Sage chose carrots instead. They are his favorite vegetable.
When we got home we used empty containers as pots- a metal cashew can, a diet coke bottle and a yogurt container. The diet coke bottle was the hardest to poke drainage holes in. We hammered with a nail, used a sharp scissors, poked it with a thumb tack and twisted it with a screw. Eventually it went through. We read the seed packets and talked about where and when the plants grow best. They helped scoop soil, sprinkle seeds and water. Dagan watered his a little too much though thanks to the drainage holes, it was not a problem. We can't wait for the seedlings to start sprouting. Hope this nice warm summer weather continues.
