WHOOT!

That's right all today was the day! I finally planted my first seedlings. An entire container of sunflowers. Sunspot Sunflowers. I decided finally the flower choices for the 'plot' I was given. Its a flower bed in the back yard of my wondrous employers Chris and Kelly. Its a stretch about 8 to 12 feet by about 3. A very nice spot. And I've decided to do three kinds of flowers in a tier. Starting with the tallest, the Sunspot sunflowers, which I'd like you to know the seeds were huge! Had to plant them a whole inch into the peat pellets, I hope it works. The next tier is a lovely white flower called a bellflower. Suppose to be very nice accent flowers. Those were the other ones I planted. Those things seeds were so small I didn't know how many I actually put into the little pellets. Lots of seeds to be weeded out once they pop up. The third tier hasn't been planted yet, those will be multi colored fancy pansies. All large flowers.

Anyway, the process was fun, I missed getting dirt under my nails. Tomorrow, I am going to take Sarah and Jonathan into the backyard to work on the flower bed. Work to be done: Weeding, tilling, edging. Hopefully the first will get done. ^.^ Loving the nice weather! I'll keep you all updated on the sprouts. This year is gonna rock!
