Planting FUN!

Please re-visit this post every now and then to see how our herbs are growing....

My sister gave me the CUTEST seed kit (a ways back)...I've been saving it for a special day in kindergarten!

The directions reminded the kiddos of How-To Books (see the post about How To Books very soon)

We got started today. First, we had to soak the peat and wait while it turned into a chunk of dirt.

After 15 minutes we had our chunk of dirt

We are growing "tangy lemon balm", "zingy cinnamon and basil", and "cool and fresh spearmint"
 

If the seeds smell this minty, we can't wait to smell the mint leaves....

We sealed our pots in bags for insulation.



 Our Zingy Cinnamon Basil is the first herb to sprout--it just took the weekend to sprout.
