Seeds, Birthdays and Such

My sweet little nephew, Ben
He turned 3 this past weekend.



CB and I took a walk last week to the railroad tracks
north of our house.  For some reason, we are both
fascinated by the tracks.

See.  I like them.  I like taking their picture! 


Then last Tuesday, I decided I better get my seeds started. 
I opted to try a few in egg cartons.  I'm not sure how great
it's going to work.  They have yet to sprout and it's been a week.
The blue tabs  are my markers...I used old paint samples and cut
them into strips.


 I {Heart} Gurney's seed catalog.
I could browse thru it for hours!

I am a believer in good potting soil/mix.
Miracle Gro is the choice.

Look at that sweet boy! I remember you posting pics of him when he was born, not too long after Q was.

I told myself I'm not planting a single thing after last years drought bust, but I always cave. Wouldn't it be so cool to have a mini greenhouse?!?

i like railroad tracks too for some reason...maybe because they are so uniform. they seem dangerous to me though.

we have our seeds started too...or i should say mountain man and the kids do ;)
