Fall/Winter Micro Garden

Well, we have decided to attempt to grow a mini micro garden. Adam started researching online about how we could do it and I found a publication from UT about good winter plants for the area. So this morning we ran to the Mayo Garden Center, they confirmed our study fines and directed us to the winter seeds. So we now have seeds in little planters. Carrots, spinach, Georgia collards, roman lettuce and green onions are all in the ground thanks to our little helper. In addition to that we also have sprouts, rosemary, basil, chives, and garlic in separate containers. The rosemary and basil we got from a friend and got them to sprout in a water jar. The garlic I bought from the grocery store a while ago and noticed this weekend it was growing so we planted it as well.

Ada loved it! It wasn't just getting to play in the dirt, but she understood that we were building little homes for the seeds and this is where they were going to live and grow. She enjoyed watering them and both Adam and I were impressed that she did not try to flood them. Ada was oh so careful patting the dirt down and making sure they all had their "blankets" on. I think she is going to be a good little gardener and I really hope that she inherits her Nana Carol's green thumb!
