"v" is for veggie garden

M didn't have school last friday, and she was under the weather last wednesday...so it's no wonder that on the "first" day of spring break, we're already at each other's throats ;)

there actually wasn't a letter for school last week, but i was thinking that if there WAS a letter, it would have been "V"--and it just so happens that last week we started our own vegetable garden around here!  and i'm sort of unnaturally excited about it--as in, checking in on my "babies" many, many times a day excited ;)

i've been wanting to plant a vegetable garden for a while now, but i didn't know how and i have a black thumb, so i figured it wasn't in the cards.  but i also thought i could never make bread or crackers from scratch, and i've been doing that for a few months now, so i decided to try it out!

first we got some seeds...

planted them in biodegradable planting pods...

and placed them by a window. on very fancy folding tv trays...thankfully it's only temporary!!

and voila!!!!  this is less than 10 days!! 

you know, i have carried and birthed two babies--but this?  this is miraculous!!

so, so, SO proud of my little babies :) 

i'm figuring in about three months i'll never have to go to wegs again, right?!
