Adventures in Planting

I just wanted to check back with an update on our planting adventures.  Two weeks ago we planted flowers in different types of soil and we also planted seeds.  Each week we observed our plants and wrote about what we noticed.  Thankfully nothing completely died, and most all of the seeds (with the exception of cantaloup) germinated at least.  Hooray!  We did have some unexpected happenings along the way... we spotted aphids (eek!), then we had thousands of ladybugs brought in to save the day (double eek!).  I have to say that watching the seed to plant process gets me every time! It is so amazing how quickly those little guys grow!
