Our plants are thriving beautifully. I was somewhat nervous to leave my plants with Aaron when I went to Florida. I don't know why I doubted his abilities, because I came home and they are huge! So glad that my husband can remember to take care of little things like that which are important to me. I really need to get them outside and out of these little, indoor "planters", however Nebraska weather is being very uncooperative (which isn't surprising of course). I need to slowly transition them to the outdoors...letting them sit outside for a few hours as day, for several days, before I actually transplant them but it's been too cold to do that. Hopefully they can hold out for a few more days.
"God almighty first planted a garden: and, indeed, it is the purest of human pleasures."--Sir Francis Bacon
I couldn't agree more with this quote. It's a weird sense of accomplishment and wonder as I watch these plants get taller and more beautiful-because of my (and Cece's) efforts! I am also very happy that I can do things like this with Cecelia. I'm happy that she can experience fresh from our "garden" vegetables. Even if they do just come out of our large pots with trellises on our back deck. I can't wait to have my own house, so that I can have a large garden in my back yard. I would love for my mother to teach me everything that she knows about gardening, so that I too, may pass this knowledge of personal handed down information to my children, rather than having to learn to garden from a "Gardening for dummies" type book.
