Today we played.

First we played in the bath.

Then we played with some dirt and seeding trays. She didn't know what to think of the dirt. She spent a very long time sitting here investigating the bits of dirt on her hand. Then she wiped her hand in more dirt that was on the floor and investigated for a bit longer.
The poor seeding tray didn't know what hit it.

Then, of course, it was time to play in the bath again. As you can see, it was really hard on her.
I did get a lot of planting done though. This being my first year starting things indoors, we'll see how it turns out, but I have high hopes.
We have seeds for:
- Pumpkins (Orange Smoothie)
- Watermelon (New Queen) - It's YELLOW!!
- Cauliflower (Cheddar) - Also yellow. Looks just like someone poured cheese sauce on it.
- Tomatoes - cherry, pear, rainbow blend heirloom, native sun (yellow), and a bush tomato called keepsake storage that is supposed to stay good at room temperature for 70 days after picked.
- Cucumbers - morden, burpless bush, and lemon (yum)
- tomatillos (for salsa)
- beans - purple royalty and scarlet runner
- corn
- asparagus
- mini bell peppers

More to come, but that's what I got seeded today. Just a few of each.

And the dog also got to eat real food today instead of cookies.
