The boys enjoyed popping seeds into this starting tray in anticipation of our spring garden. Tomatoes, broccoli, and some summer flowering annuals were started. Everything was sprouting and looking great. I put the trays out one afternoon to harden off the little seedlings. Then I forgot them outside overnight and they all wilted. Then I forgot them again during a hard rain, and one tray fell off its perch and the pods were scattered and soaked. Whoops! The lesson here is, this spring I have too many babies to be caring for baby plants too. Hopefully the seeds we put directly in the ground will fare better than this!

One year before babies I tried the seedlings, laid all these trays out in the sunny window of my guest bedroom, tended to them like my own children and after they all got to be about 2 inches tall, they all died. Ever since we either plant the seed in the ground or get the plants at the co-op. Tim keeps mentioning building a green house but all I can picture is my guest bed covered with dead seedlings. So sad!! I'm tempted to have a cut and paste garden too. Do those grow weeds?
