How Does Your Salsa Grow?

Last month, Kiddo got a salsa garden for his birthday. It came with all you need to get started from the tray to the soil to the six packs of cilantro, onions, tomatoes, jalapenos, parsley, and cayenne pepper seeds. It had everything but the water, but not to worry.....we have a well!



Kiddo started out by filling each cell of the tray with potting soil.






Bean then helped Kiddo plant the seeds. Apparently this job proved to be a little more difficult than they had anticipated so they had to get some help from.........................................



SUPER KITTY!!




Each day since Kiddo planted his garden a few weeks ago, he has written down any changes in the seedlings development, how many of each kind have sprouted, and when they have been watered.


DH took the tray from the window and called Kiddo into the kitchen. "Look at your garden and tell me what you see?" said DH.



"I see jalapenos, onions, tomatoes, and cilantro, but no cheyenne peppers or parsley. Hey, where's the salsa?" said Kiddo.


"What do you mean, where's the salsa?" DH replied.


Kiddo said, "I don't see any salsa!"


Trying to hold back the uncontrollable laughter, DH said, "Kiddo, salsa itself doesn't grow in the garden. You first have to grow all these vegetables, then chop them up, add seasonings and then blend them together. That's salsa. Were you looking for little jars of salsa growing in this tray?"


With a smirk on his face, Kiddo replied, "Ummm....Maybe!"
