Spring on the home front

Posted in Gardening

Not much going on because we are super busy. We were out of town all weekend. This weekend we MUST get our garden beds ready. We have soccer ... but we still have to get it done. (Hubby isn't much for yard work.)

 

I did get some more seeds started: tomatoes, etc. My problem is that I don't have a good window where they get direct sunlight as long as they need it??? Maybe I should give up starting seedlings at my home. Maybe I should work towards getting a mini-greenhouse set up... so many ideas, so little time and money.

Some seeds are up

Posted in Gardening

I planted brocoli, cauliflower, early celery, and onions (two types). I planted three of each except of the onions. I didn't think to look at the celery days to germination because they are paired in my six pack with brocoli... and aren't up yet. I might have to replant them by themselves.

I invested in two seed starter kits from that consists of a large bottom tray for bottom watering and then smaller 6-pack trays that fit on top with a large top to cover it all. My only complaint is that since I'm starting smaller quanities of each plant (for succession planting) that I have all this extra space, etc. Live and learn...
