When you leave your wintersown plants in a location where your 2 year
old can get to them, you can expect them to not make it very far in
life. I had placed mine on a log that is left from a tree we had cut
down a while back. Emma found them and thought they looked like the
shakers we had made. What fun she had. I knew they were done for after
that.
It turns out some plants are hardier than you might think. I was
right, most did not make it. However, a couple came up. I hope that the
purple tomatillo that smiled at me today will make a nice addition to
some salsa this year. I've got a water bottle that it will soon find
itself sitting under. With a little care, perhaps it will survive. That
is, if I can keep little hand, and big paws, away long enough.
