Big Boy Pots

Well, all the seedlings have graduated to their own pots now and the cotyledons have fallen off the tomato plants in the back row, so I guess my little charges are growing up. I spent half the weekend preparing their soon-to-be new home outside, though I won't be permanently moving them out for probably another month. Perhaps soon I can move them to the porch so they can begin to acclimate to the outdoors. Time flies so fast (sigh!). It seems like only yesterday they were just teeny seeds in the palm of my hand. Well, okay, that was only three weeks ago and, as you can see, some of them are still pretty small, like Chamomile and Chives, who hardly show up at all in this picture. The good news is that they are alive and thriving. None of the dreaded "damping off" disease has come to claim their lives. Things are looking good!

Little plants
they do grow up
in the blink of an eye
As long as I keep them
away from my pup
who is exuberantly spry
