A home fit for a toad

It's Hot Outside!

(understatement)

~thank goodness for popsicles~

I was thinning out my basil

*the secret ingredient in my tomato sandwiches*

when a toad popped out

from under the soil

He found a nice cool spot

to make it through the summer!

-he's welcome to stay-

now that I know he's there

*he did scare the daylights out of me though*

the first time he came flying out of the soil

Green Thumb

My Grandpa was a gardener

he maintained a full on serious garden

corn, okra, tomatoes

*he would grow it all*

me on the other hand.....

I've never started plants from seeds

~totally lazy gardener~

buying my plants

and then transplanting them into their pots

and feeling quite accomplished 

when I'm done

Well no more lazy gardening!

I'm breaking out my genetic green thumb

*plus*

~I love a good project~

seed trays are an easy start

Just add water

-and they triple in size- 

ready for some seeds

*here are my little starter plants*

with plenty indirect sunlight

and in just a few days

Surprise!

my little seedlings are poking out already

**I am super excited**
