Ah yes, I have made my first mistake. As embarrassing as it is to post it, I guess it wouldn't be honest blogging if I only wrote about the victories. And yes, I will number my mistakes because I know there will be many. That way you can just say, oh, remember SGM #34, and go see what I did and learn from it. ;-) SO, on to SGM #2: As you saw in the last post, I transplanted my little plants from the milk carton to slightly larger containers. I also thought it would be good for the plants to receive a bit of the morning sun. I'm up early enough with the boys that it shouldn't have been a problem. With my hubby chuckling at me, I took my wee ones out for their 2nd day of fun in the sun. And then got busy . . .took oldest to preschool, came home and fed youngest, decided to go to the library . . . . .
COMPLETELY forgot about my little plants!!!
If you live in AZ, you know that it's still freakin' hot here. There was no way the little ones had a chance. We arrived back at home around 1pm and I realized what I did. Not going to lie to you, set all the kids inside immediately and ran back out to my plants. Who cares if it was past naptime!! My plants!! ( I don't always prioritize like that) It was too late. I think they were goners. Not sure if they would have come back from it or not. I say that because they were shriveled on the outside, but when I pulled them up, the root still seemed healthy. Maybe those of you out there who grow things could tell me. I was pretty bummed. On the bright side, I did replant the seeds and actually wrote down what was planted!! (Which was actually SGM #1 - label your seedlings)
Here's to the 2nd time around!
