Window Garden

One day, if and when we ever get our own home, I'd love to have a garden. Doesn't matter, small or large, but I'd love to be able to have a space that has a little bit of greenery. Our current living situation doesn't really have much outdoor space for a garden of any kind, but in the interest of educating Bear about seeds and their growing needs, we set up a little window garden. Well, it started small, just a couple of seeds and pots, some sunshine in the window, a spray bottle for Bear to water...



We just didn't account for the green thumb. Seriously, they're taking over the window. Okay, so part of it is probably the fact that there's not enough sunshine so the plants are growing in search of it (Gibberellins, right?). Despite the overabundance of leafage and stemmage, our little Mendel is starting to see her pea plants flower and fruit. Every day she inspects her plants and excitedly exclaims, "Look, mommy, it's growing!"



So perhaps in a couple of weeks I'll get to teach her about harvesting and then sautéing. Yum.
