Happy Earth Day

So this Earth day I have lots of seeds to plant. I wanted to grow a tree...but I thought flower seeds might be a good start. Maybe I'll plant a tree when I move into the new house. You know... one tree, or maybe five. And an herb garden, and a butterfly garden, and a good sitting area... Oh yeah.. I like gardening.

Anyway, I never have started seeds before, so I thought the kind that have kits might be a little easier. I got three of my favorite flowers - daisies, forget-me-nots, and sunflowers. I also got strawberries because my SO absolutely loves strawberries. The weird part is that the sunflower seed starter pot was about half the size of the strawberry pot... one is definitely going to be larger than the other. Oh well, follow

I also fifgured I should re-pot my house plants. I only have three now, but I had seven...but because the house we live in doesn't exactly have heat...and my house in the winter was around 48-52 degree average.. a few died. One of my plants are hanging on by a thread, so hopefully after the warm weather keeps getting warmer, and re-potting the plant, it will survive.

I absolutely adore yellow daisies. I don't think there could be a happier flower than a yellow daisy. They look like little balls of sunshine sprouting up! My own little suns in my house

I loved the cheveron pot. I have a weird obsession with very simple chevron lately. The "good moms" pot was awesome too...but that's just because it's completely true. Except I could change it to say "Good moms have messy kitchens, laundry piles, and absolytely cranky almost-two-year-old punks" who me?? did I say that? Nahhhh....

I ended up planting extra daisies and forget me nots in the above pots.


and this is my covered in soil peace for the day. I can't possibly be the only one out there who thinks the smell of fresh soil and plants is the most comforting smell of the season. It reminds me of living plants and warm weather and lots of memories helping out the women of my family in their gardens growing up. Now I can make those memories with my own daughter...you know, once she has out grown the terrible twos!

Happy Earth Day ~Peace~
