Plantin' time again...

Somehow managed to get it together to order seeds from a seed catalog in the late winter, buy some soil, and find some little potting containers - let's plant some seeds! And even though I was much better organized this year than last, the seeds actually haven't been doing as well. We have transplanted the cherry tomatoes and larger ones into the garden now, but the strawberries and cucumbers have been disappointing. So now I'm thinking it's like when the goldfish dies and you run to the store to get a new one before your kids figure it out - similarly, am thinking of running to the garden centre to get some little plants and exclaim to the kids: "well looky looky what happened to those strawberry plants overnight! We must have green thumbs...."

We went outside to water our big green tomatoes one morning, and they were all GONE. They kids nearly cried. Some animal got a good meal. I had the same thought of going to teh store to buy some and tell the kidws we'd grown them, but it was too late - they saw the empty plants...
