Singing in the Rain!

  I LOVE the rain! Especially when it feeds my little, growing, cutesy pootsy plants. Rain is so refreshing, I can feel it on my skin. Plus, then I don't have to water them, which has proven diffcult since my hose doesn't reach the front bed, and the back hose's nozzle is bussted so it sprays funny. 
  I want to tell you about another part of my garden that didn't get mentioned...my planter boxes. My sweet Marmy (who is going to randomly post about her garden in Idaho) gave all of us kids these funny green planter boxes for easter, to get our gardens started. Well I planted mine, stuck them out on the back deck and nothing showed up forever. I would forget to water it, and forget it was even there. A couple of times I even walked out onto the deck to get some air, looked over at them, and gave them the last of my glass of water...very generous of me.
  Well, to my surprise the little guys lived, and are growing this very day. I guess I didn't notice them for a few days because when I finally looked...THERE THEY WERE!

  You can't see it too well, but the planter on the right also has some little spurts. I love how all the starts look the same; a tiny green stem with two little leaves. And I always think "Now, what did I plant again?" I know there were some herbs, some lettuce, and maybe chives...maybe.
  The reason I wanted to show these cute little guys is to instill some hope for the indoor or small planter gardener. If I can make little seeds grow out of bright green planters...so can you! even if you are busy, or you forget, some little seeds never give up. I'll let you know how they turn out!
