Trying to make my father proud, I placed a few seeds in each spot of my seed starting kit. The result---15 tomato plants, 10 bell pepper plants, 2 jalepeno plants, and 10 struggling strawberry seedlings. After they all came up, I realized that John-Mark and I may be the only ones in the Atkinson household this summer that care for tomatoes. Any other takers? Tristan? I can at least feed the neighborhood deer.
I'm counting on Benson's help with the strawberries.
Dad told me that I needed to get the seedlings some light as soon as they came up-so J-M and I spent far to much time selecting the right lightbulbs at Lowe's and then set the whole thing up over the microwave. I grew concerned that the micro waves weren't doing good things for them, though, so they've since been moved under the TV.
Natalie- I will help with the peppers and strawberries, but good luck with the tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteYou can hide the tomatoes in all kinds of dishes and then they will eat them. They will have no idea. Although that does seem a little juvenile--like antibiotics in chocolate milk or something.
ReplyDeleteI won't even help with the peppers like Britt, but I'll totally take--I mean take care of--the strawberries! Nice try on the tomatoes though... ;)
