Aren't You Jealous?

The first part of December, Christian did a pack meeting (he's the Cubmaster in scouts) where he had all of the kids plant a few seeds in a clear cup so they could watch the roots and plants grow. He had a hodge podge of seeds, and both Ethan and Aidan planted a few seeds in their cups. The seeds began to grow, and we quickly realized that each boy had one or two tomato plants in addition to some grass seeds and other unknown plants. As they got bigger and bigger, Christian weeded out the grass and unknown plants and transplanted the tomato plants into a bigger container. It sat in our kitchen window until it overtook the window. A couple of weeks ago Christian transplanted them again into a huge pot with new soil and stuck some sticks in it to create a makeshift tomato wire holder thingy (can you tell I'm a gardening expert?). They completely took off, growing like crazy and producing little green tomatoes. We quickly learned that what we have are cherry tomatoes. Look at this picture and notice in the bottom right corner of the plant we have four ripe cherry tomatoes! (You can only see two of them.) It's been so fun for the boys to watch their tiny seeds become fruit producing plants. And we all get to enjoy the fruits of our (okay, their) labors - in April!(Linked up with CaJoh's Friday's Feast.)
