Tomatoes anyone?

Bryce must be learning about gardens and vegetables at school over the past couple of weeks because he's had this unusual interest in planting things...particularly vegetables...not that he likes to eat very many of them. After trying to convince him that mommy's thumb is not so green, and a "garden" was out of the question we decided to take baby steps and start small. So...I found this fun and easy little kit from Target that included everything you need to plant a tomato plant and some basil leaves. He thought it was the greatest fun! I'll be sure to keep you updated. Hopefully something will sprout soon. Does anyone know how long it takes??? Target left that part out of the directions.

I promise this is what the directions said to do with the "peat"?

A tiny tomato seed...actually there were 10. Check Jake out in the background!




"Are they growing yet Mommy?" says Bryce about 38 seconds after we were finished. Oh boy, this should be an interesting lesson. I feel like a teacher again!
