Garden Chemistry: Seed Starting

First you add warm water to the tray.

   The boys have started their seedlings for the garden.  We are using these Burpee Seed Starting Greenhouse Kits.  They are less than $3.00 apiece, and each of the boys chose a pack of seeds to plant in one.  They planted jalapenos, cucumbers, and carrots, and I planted a tray of tomatoes.   

Then you watch as the soil tablets magically absorb the water and expand to fill the tray.

Then you plant,

and plant,

and cover them.

   The boys are already asking when their plants will grow.  We are going to check them each day and track their growth.
