Gardening Novice

About two weeks ago, I had a terrible sore throat that I had to see a doctor. I think that was the after shock of an incredible weekend (my birthday weekend remember?). After seeing the doctor I decided to stroll around down town Pleasant Hill.


I went to a number of shops then I saw MICHAEL's, the craft store. So I went inside, looked around and found a lot of interesting stuff. Well I tried to control my self from buying anything coz the plan was just to kill time. Then I saw this cute little plastic pot, a Mini Tomato Grow kit which was just $2.

Back in L.A. Isabella, my DH's niece, and I planted a Daisy mini pot. So I basically had an idea what to do with my kit. It also came with detailed instructions and tips on how to take care of you plants so it was a no-brainer. But I'm anemic when it comes to gardening so I kept the instructions.


I placed my pot outside so it can get its much needed sun. The day after, I saw my pot empty! A cat played with my pot! I was so angry. Good thing the package came with extra seeds and the soil was good for two pots. I'm not entirely sure why I had too much soil. The pot I prepared with Isabella came with just enough soil. I just prayed I did the right thing.


My DH loves to water the plants and the grass. Yup! Although we have sprinklers he waters the grass and other plants there because he thinks it therapeutic. Since he was already taking care of the greenies outside I asked him to give my tiny pot a little shower. He then told me that he can see three teeny weeny leaves on my pot! YEY! I really thought I did everything wrong because I've been waiting for ten days already and nothing was happening! I'm so happy and excited! I think I'm ready to plant some herbs!

I'm so excited for the tomatoes! You guys should try it!
