Geraniums So tiny...By Balisha

I ordered seeds in February to plant in pots of peat..

My blogger friends were planting..it sounded very neat.

This year I'd plant my own and not buy them at the store..

My gardens would be filled with geraniums and more.

The pots were filled with a medium that I mixed all by myself..

With things from bags and buckets that were sitting on the shelf.

I moistened them and poked some holes.. dropped in the little seeds..

They nestled in.. I covered them..a light now I would need.

The little pots were on the shelf under lights so very bright..

I didn't turn the lights off till I went to bed at night.

Each day I'd spray the tiny pots with a sprinkler that was shiny..

Keeping careful watch each day for sprouts.. that were so tiny.

Then one day I went to water and right before my eyes..

Tiny sets of leaves in rows...a wonderful surprise.

And now my little babies.. I'll give you special care..

To keep you very healthy till you're in my garden fair.

When summer comes you'll nod your heads and live out in the sun..

And big bouquets will fill my house.. for me it will be fun.
