X's Four

Have you seen the neat seed kits that are packaged in aluminum planters? They make awesome Easter baskets for the kids. Just remove the instructions and place inside; line with faux grass; then fill. Last year, I sent them home with our Grands. This year, I hope to plant with them. Don't forget to jazz them up with a little candy; we don't want disappointed recipients!


In 2009, our entire state suffered a blight that caused tomato plants to wilt and die, just before harvesting. What a heartbreaker! I was told, though, that the little kit tomatoes thrived for lots of pickin' and munchin'. Yay! Let's try again.

This year, I added two herb gardens to the mix. All edibles ease the pain of less chocolate... well, maybe!
