We are so happy to be getting outside! Not so much the lawn-mowing and weed-pulling, but the general outdoorsyness of it all makes it all o.k. Last year I started seedlings inside, and this year I did that too, but for some reason, I only started hollyhocks and a couple of tomatoes, whereas last year I started tomatoes as well as butternut squash and zucchini. I just started my squash and zucchini, but since the risk of frost is gone, is there any purpose in starting the seeds inside?
Anyway, Imogene loves planting seeds. I should say she LOVES planting seeds!!! All last summer, all she wanted to do was plant seeds, even when we were picking vegetables from the garden. Thankfully some of our flowers produce seed pods and I showed her how to open them and scatter seeds. In the fall I gathered a bunch of marigold seeds just for Imogene to plant this year. Our garden will be ready to plant soon (later than everyone else around us I'm sure) but who cares.
Hmmm...what's going on here? Maybe these seeds were not watered enough? They were pretty dry looking before planting, and I just soaked some last night, and they plumped up and we planted them this morning, so maybe they will go better. Maybe they will all grow and we'll be inundated with squash!
