Early this month the boys made planter boxes at a Home Depot workshop. They planted apple seeds, tomatoes, and peppers in them. Here is the most recent growth in their plants:
Rylan planted apple seeds that had sprouted in our apples- most of them are Pink Lady and one Golden Delicious....he's very proud of them...

Cohen planted peppers. His seeds took awhile and still only 2 have came up in the last week....
 
Now here are Cale's. He planted tomatoes...

Now before you think this child is a gardening wonder....to be honest the day after he planted his seed I planted my seedlings in the garden and had 2 tomato plants leftover....his seeds are about 2 inches high under the big ones....but he does have a green thumb.
And here was out first apple seedling. We upgraded into a pot now since it was outgrowing the peat pellet. We also now have a necterine seed. We found the pit cracked in the garden from some compost and the seed was sitting there....we also have 3-4 little necterine tree seedlings in our compost pile which we will eventually transplant. I love this. I have memories as a little girl...my brother and I would take our apple seeds from lunch and plant them. We never saw them again.( We also forgot where we planted them!) Anyway....isn't it pretty!!
