Pseudo Rainforest

I planted and watered my cold weather plants a few days ago and have been eagerly waiting for something sprout every since. Jude and I go outside and check in on the plants at least once a day and he's constantly poking and prodding at whatever might be hiding under the soil.

The coolest part is watching the mini-ecosystem at work. Essentially, by having plants inside of the tiny greenhouse, you're creating your own little ecosystem. The water can't escape, the sun light comes through the plastic roof and the heat gets trapped inside causing the water to evaporate and collect on the cover. Once the water gets heavy on the cover it falls back on to the plants. Jude likes to play God and tap the roof to make the water drop.

With the unseasonably warm weather we've been having, it's creating almost a hot and humid rain forest-like atmosphere for the plants to thrive in.

This whole creating life thing is pretty sweet.
