{Finally putting the garden gloves to some use- love Springtime!!}
A little over a week ago on one of these gorgeous 80-something degree days we've been having, Christian (my 2-year old) and I planted a bunch of seeds for our gardens. (While our almost-4-month old took a beautiful-wonderful-heavenly-loooong nap.)

I'm a pretty lazy gardener. I garden because I love how gardens look, smell, taste, etc, because I want to bring flowers inside & cook with the herbs & vegatables, and most of all, because I just love to be in & around them... But let me repeat: I am a lazy gardener. I'm not really at that therapeautic stage of gardening that so many people I know are at. At this point in my life, I just want a beautiful usable garden as quickly and easily as possible. I enjoy gardening, but it's for the end result that I'm gardening. (Hopefully one day I'll get back to that whole therapeutic thing... in high school I looooved it)

{The sprouts in our sunny laundry room}
Christian is so excited!! We did basil, zinnias, tomatoes, chives, dill, cilantro & parsley. We'll put them outside after danger of frost and when we actually get to it. (I'm hearing Mother's Day is safe)
Outside, we put carrots and lettuce ("Le Tuce") in the ground...
The lettuce sprouted and I can't wait to eat it. (There's no better lettuce than fresh-from-the-garden lettuce :)

So, if you haven't done it already (and it works for you seasonally) Project #12 is to pick up a few seed packets from the store and pop them into some containers for your garden- be it indoor or out. It's so easy - especially the lazy way ;)
