Today a girlfriend and I decided to go to the Farmers Market and get seeds to grow, then we planned to get clay pots and paint with chalkboard paint so that we could write on the pot what we were growing in it. She already had pots for herself and chalkboard paint and soil, so we got seeds at the farmers market, she got some vegetables to plant in her garden at home, and I got basil and catnip seeds (I thought it would be a nice treat for our lovely cat, and interesting to see how she'd do with it) and some spinach starters. I also bought Black-Eyed Susan seeds to plant in a small patch of ground that is bare and ugly by our front door, but I'm waiting for the horrific downpours to stop (If they ever will) and I need to clean it up and get better soil first.
I planted the spinach starters in a pot I already owned and then bought two clay pots which I painted and wrote on with chalk, for the Basil and Catnip. I can't wait to start seeing them sprout. Hopefully I can keep them alive, I'm new at this :)
Our second plan for the day was for her to teach me how to make bread, I have been wanting to do it for a while now, I just never have before. So while waiting for our paint to dry on the pots we starting making whole wheat bread, it was pretty easy and fun to see the changes in it as it rises. While we were waiting for that, we switched back and worked on planting our seeds :) The bread turned out pretty well! And im excited to know the basics now and try more options in the future.
