Growing Plants for the First Time
Our two little grandchildren had, each, a pack of seeds. In one there were the snapdragon seeds and carrots in the other. My granddaughter and grandson came to me and sweetly asked me if they could plant some flower seeds in my garden. They bought some seed packets already and proceeded to show me what they wanted to grow. We planned a special day for planting seeds and learning about other plants.
Soon it was time for our special day. I found two pots that already had dirt in them, but I didn't want to use just any dirt for the carrots so I found a sack of potting soil for flowers and vegetables. The potting soil was wet from being out in the rain so it didn't pour out easily. It came out in clumps so we had a bit of a mess, but it was fun. We read over the instructions on the back of the packets and followed the instructions except we started a little late in the season for carrots but we decided to go ahead and give it a try.
Well, yesterday I noticed both pots have seedlings popping up. The carrots only have a few sprouts but the snapdragon seeds are popping up like crazy. I sent pictures to my grandchildren this morning and they are very excited about growing their own plants. Hopefully, the plants make it all the way to maturity
Here are the pictures so far. This is also a time of learning for me because I have never grown carrots, I hope it turns out well and we get to eat some yummy carrots.
