grow up


last night, phillip started to make a little mini greenhouse for me out of some of our old storm windows. i made him PROMISE promise promise to have the project completed by the weekend, so i can start using it. of course, i followed up with a trip to menards, and some peat pots and a few seed packets. since last year was pretty unsuccessful in the indoor seed growing arena, i thought i'd try to beat the clock a bit by starting some seeds outside this year. nothing ventured, nothing gained.

the inspiration? karen and her tomato dreams, and the whopping $1.79 i paid for ONE tomato at the grocery store on monday night.

gardening will save the world!!!!

or at least allow me to keep feasting on tomatoes.... :)

Peat Pots? Yikes, you've got some teaching to do, girl. I need a Tomato Primer, please!

oh. don't sweat. just a biodegradable type thing, so that when you are ready to actually plant the baby seedlings, you don't have to remove them from the pot, you just PLANT the pot.

okay. you might need peat pots :)

sorry. teaching is not my forte. :)

Ok. Peat Pots, check. Prepare yourself for an onslaught of gardening/decorating/painting questions. You're the goods. :-)

Did you ever want your own HGTV show? I could be your first client..

Make sure to show us a picture of the greenhouse when Phil is done.
