Well this is gonna be fun!!

12 packs of seeds. Various herbs for the kitchen and medicinal, 3 kinds of tomato (Roma, Cherry and canning) and a packet of heirloom bell peppers (multi color at that)... These seeds never stood a chance. After a 5 minute lack of sounds coming from my 4 yr old I knew something was up. Sure enough, there in the middle of my bedroom floor, a pile of shredded seed packets and a bowl holding what seeds she managed to not get on the floor. (Thank goodness I'm mid reno of my bedroom and thus have no carpet!) All the packets, not one or two, all! Why? I don't know. I asked. She says cause they looked cool. Of course they looked cool, they were on my shelf of mommies things never to touch. So after sweeping the floor with a make up brush for what seemed like hours (ok so a good 15 minutes) I had all the seeds in the bowl. Now I have a variety pack of herb seeds, a variety pack of tomato seeds and a pack of pepper seeds since those are easy enough to identify. The tomatoes I know, just no way of knowing which kind is what seeds. (I seriously hope I don't end up with 75 cherry tomato plants and 2 canners!!) Even still not so bad right? BUT.... Have y'all ever really looked at herb seeds? #TheyAllLookTheSame!!!! .. so
.. I'm just gonna throw them all in a flat of seed starter and see what happens. Surely at some point they'll become recognizable by smell probably before sight. Ahh the joys of parenthood.. At least I know at 39 I still have cool stuff!!
