We received some cosmos seeds in some random mailer. P was thrilled at this unexpected gift and quite stoked to plant them in our vast garden, er, um, fire escape pot. He was very helpful, in the traditional sense, for the first 2 minutes. Then he was sidetracked by the bag of peatmoss and all of its innate possibilities. I reached out the window to grab another pot and turned back to see he had created a table length dirt road for his truck :) Then as we watered in the little seeds he decided to help again. A small splash for the seeds quickly became a rain shower on his dirt road. As I yelped in surprise he smiled up innocently "I'm just helping you wash the table mama."
I expected verrrry little from these free seeds, but whalah! A few civil wars with the pigeons later and we have a whole crop of cosmos growing green out our window.
