Its the holidays, so I was expecting a little leeway. Yes, I know the pumpkin patch has been sorely lacking for the past month or two, but now it is coming back. Everything has finally come together. I have all the pieces that I think I want, and a spare few minutes to put it together. I can't guarantee that I am not going to be adding crazy bits as this project progress, but for now, the seeds are planted.
I received the seeds about a week ago from my sister. I am glad they had an opportunity to travel through the mail. It is probably not the first time for seeds, but what can I say, I have never (nor expect to) travel by U.S. Mail. I had no idea that they would be green, they look kind of odd next to the other seeds. I figured that I had such good luck with getting the first plants to grow (leaves at least) that I should throw a few of the leftover seeds from them into the mix.
So, the seeds are now planted. I put mini seeds in the four containers in the aluminum thing and a few of the big seeds in the bigger round plastic bowl. I used two kinds of potting soil because I don't know how much faith I have in the stuff that came with the mini seeds, and from what I know, miracle grow grows stuff. Anyhow, the light is set to a timer and I gave them all a little water. I know I said I had hoped to have leaves by the new year, but the seeds are in the dirt. Now we wait for germination!
