Last week, lil man and I planted seeds. I have never grown anything from seeds, having the proverbial black thumb. We planted okra, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, beets, nasturtiums, mint and four-o-clocks. We used the Jiffy Plant Starter kit which has room for 72 seedlings.
3 days later, everything the boy touched is at least 2 inches high. My seeds? Struggling to break ground. I was whining about this and he informed me that he knew why.
His hands were dirty to start with so his plants got a head start! He thinks that if I just played outside more my plants would grow better.
He could be right.
