Impatient Gardening

Are you a VERY impatient gardener? Want to plant seeds and see growth SOON? These are great to plant with kids too: Veggies: Cress Lettuce Mustard greens Oriental greens Radish Scallions Spinach Turnip Kale Parsley Zucchini Broccoli Peas Bush Beans Fruits don't grow near as fast but if you just gotta try a fruit go for a pumpkin! It would be fun for kids to grow it and then have a pumpkin to carve for Halloween.

Baby Veggies Day 2

April and May Garden Plans

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh I want to plant these NOW, but I gotta wait. Here is a sneak peek

So guess how long asparagus lives for... 15 YEARS! And it grows like this

When it is time to plant my strawberries I am going to plant them in a pot like this

And lastly my jalapeno peppers well I still gotta figure it out, but this is part of the adventure... learning as you go =)

Garden Of 2013 Is Underway!

I went to Lowes and bought this $7 green house that comes with peat pods

Here is an unwatered peat pod the way they come in the box

Then I added water like it said to on the box

Then they expanded

But you still gotta mush 'em around and help it expand more here is before and after the mushing haha

Then you gotta open up the top of the peat pot and plant your seeds according to their depth directions on the back of the seed pack

LABEL so you know what is what!!

Keep the lid on until you need to water them

This is what I planted for now (minus the lima beans, I decided against them)

Look how tiny sage seeds are!
