The whole idea of seeds has got Ian super excited this year.  He and his friends planted an entire bag of grass seed in the back yard as part of a lesson we did on seeds, and we are also starting some seeds indoors.  Mostly tomatoes, but also some cilantro and yellow daisies.

Every day we check their progress and he tells me all about them.  Today he observed, “thems got leaves!”  Well, sort of, sweetie.  But yes, they are growing.

The tomatoes are Burpee’s Steak Sandwich Hybrid.  I’m hoping the seedlings survive the hardening off process and we’ll be enjoying abundant tomatoes this summer.  I’ve never successfully hardened off any seedlings… oh, I’ve tried, but apparently it’s not a process that goes well with my usual policy of “benign neglect.”
