Overcoming Tragedy

After starting this blog and all of my excitment about the growing baby plants and flowers, someone pulled up my baby cosmos and baby sunflowers.

I've decided to believe that it was a wayward child walking home from school whose curiousity got the best of them. It was a very sad discovery which left me feeling dejected. After a few suggestions from friends and family to plant poision ivy, I withdrew from my planting expedition.

But, now I'm back! I planted a new sunflower for my office and continued to water my precious plants. The new sunflower poking through the dirt on Friday, 4/30, was enough to renew my excitment.

Now the spinach is barely peeking up through the dirt. The cucumbers sprouted up and today the squash popped up! I'm so happy to see the sweet little sprouts barely above the dirt. I might just grow up to be a farmer!
