My daughter, now 2 1/2, and I reviewed Bentley Oregano Basil and Parsley Seeds for StuffStuff about a month ago.
We had so much fun planting the seeds. Zia loved to help stick the seeds down in the soil and put a little dirt over top. We put little signs on the plant rows, and watered them carefully whenever they were dry.
Here's Zia putting dirt over the seeds with a plastic spoon. We used recycled egg cartons as planters.
Baby J was enjoying the nice warm day in the sunshine while sister played on the deck.
Zia examining the seeds carefully.
Our seeds are all planted.
After weeks of watering and waiting, though, our seeds never even so much as had one tiny sprout! Every time we go outside, Zia asks, "Mommy, can we water the seeds? Water makes flowers grow!" But we stopped watering them last week because it was obvious they wouldn't be growing any. We were very disappointed to get dud seeds this year, as we were looking forward to fresh herbs in the kitchen through the summer. Maybe next year we will have success.
