Rise My Children Rise

I feel like a mother of 15 or more babies. Thankfully my babies don't poop 9 times a day and I only have to fed them 3 times a week. Does that make me a bad mother? If you haven't figured out by now my babies are my seedlings that are emerging. About 4 more weeks and I should be able to transplant them into my new above ground flower bed. A close friend of mine once asked "Why do they call it a Flower Bed? Why cant it be a Flower Couch or a Flower Chair?" I had no answer to his question but I started wondering the same thing.

Up Up and Away.

I started growing some seeds indoors last Sunday. I was surprised when I saw a green sprout had already came up through the soil to see its first day of sunlight. That was fast it only took 5 days for that seed to germinate and pop out through the soil. It was suppose to take longer than five days however I have a Green Thumb. I cant wait for planting time.

Favorite Flowers and Plants

Its almost that time of year. Spring. One of my favorite seasons. I am already organizing my flower seeds and preparing for the upcoming month. I went to Lowe's today and went a little crazy over the variety of seeds. I probably spent a little too much to. However I could not resist buying the most spectacular seeds. Some of which are my favorite. Purple Cone Flower - This is a beautiful purple flower with a vibrate orange and brown cone in the center, the bees also love it. Bachelors Buttons - These flowers look just like little buttons. They are mostly blue but also come in white and red. Mexican Hat - This is the coolest flower ever. The flower looks just like a mini Sombrero. Gaillardia - This is a new one I have never seen before. To me the flowers look like fireworks of red and white. Last of the seeds bought today is Red King Zinnia. This is the big daddy of the Zinnia family. The blooms on this Zinnia are huge and wonderfully red. These are some of the new comers to my garden this year. They are going to look great in the raised flower bed I'm planning on building this spring. So what are you doing to prepare for Spring?

Roots above ground. Right?

OK so I figured my blog is about Confessions of a High School Senior soo its about time to confess somethings. My fourth period class is Horticulture one because of course I love Horticulture. My teacher is Little Roberts we call him this because his father is Big Roberts and they both work at the High School. Well there is a kid in my class who has an abnormally large cranium. I mean his head is huge even Little Roberts jokes on him about it. Not only does he have a big cranium but he has a big ego too. He thinks hes all that because his girlfriend is in the Horticulture class too. He is like a miniature jock him being an tenth or eleventh grader. Today in class we transplanted seed sprouts into small containers. One group of students mixed the soil, one group planted the sprouts, and one group took the pots to the greenhouse. Well mister big had thinks he is being all cool, he plants the sprout within seconds and slides the pots across the table super fast to make a big impression while shouting " I'm the potting master." I am going behind the planters to make sure the sprouts are potted the right way. Well Mister Big Head seems to be doing something majorly wrong. Ummm are the roots suppose to go in the ground? They don't need soil to grow right? That's right in the mist of trying to impress his girlfriend, and the other really cute girls in the class, he planted the sprouts with the roots above ground. Well looks like he has a big head but no brain. Sooo while I'm fixing the problem by repotting the sprouts Little Roberts walks bye and says, "James you have done this before haven't you." "No actually this is my first time." I said. "Really your doing a great job that's amazing." he replied. Guss who the girls were staring at now. That's right me. After that the cute blond next to me was laughing with me and giving me the googly eyes. That's right Mister Big Head you put the roots above ground and James puts them below ground with the help of the ladies. Not to metion if I had not planted the roots back in the ground the plants would not have grown and we would not have been able to sell the plants out of our green house at the High School. So I saved the School at least 20 bucks today.
