                                                 Garden Helper with his well watered soil

Today my garden helper and I are starting seeds for our green house.  The soil was put in the cups.  I had our seeds out and ready. Wait, I don’t have a way to water the seeds.  So I looked around the house and found a Salsa container my husband had finished.  I cleaned off the label, drilled holes and drew a label on the can.  Time to test it out; no sooner had I started pouring the water from the can into a Rubbermaid container then in runs my gardening helper.  “I want to try it!” he says enthusiastically.  He figures out that if he squeezes the container, it will rain down in strong steady streams, instead of the gentle dribbles I was getting.  We now have thoroughly soaked soil waiting for seeds.
