Too Cold? - Started Inside!Wow I've been gone for a week and there is so much reading to catch up on! Guess I better get better organized with my time so I can stay updated. Here's where I am at today on my starts in my "fake" greenhouse. Except the celery is in the house. Today I found some time to get a few quick pics of some stuff I started from seed. First time ever doing this and I must say I am pretty thrilled. I have used every kind of container imaginable and it has been effective to say the least. Now I just have to get them through the next 3 weeks and we can plant. Hallelujah! Not bad for a first timer in my humble opinion. My mouth is watering already for good, fresh veggies. Our budget didn't allow for a real greenhouse this year as we had hoped, so we converted a spare room in our garage to make do. It has worked out quite well, if I say so myself. I'm so anxious to start planting in the real garden. Got to play in the dirt yesterday getting some trellises ready for the stuff I grow vertical. Woohoo - felt so good! 
Figured I'd try! ( photo / image / picture from Newfpaws's Garden ) This has been an experiment and a half. 
( photo / image / picture from Newfpaws's Garden ) Funky container, but great tomato shoots at 10 days. 
( photo / image / picture from Newfpaws's Garden ) I'm telling ya, I used anything to plant in I could find! 
( photo / image / picture from Newfpaws's Garden ) Round relish tray with herbs. I have one compartment in here that is Dragon's Egg Cucumbers that I just started. They haven't sprouted yet. 
( photo / image / picture from Newfpaws's Garden ) More 'maters! 
( photo / image / picture from Newfpaws's Garden ) Purple Majesty Millet - should be pretty! 
( photo / image / picture from Newfpaws's Garden ) A few squash - but by no means all! Started some Fireball marigolds 3 days ago, have one tiny little shoot already. Red peppers are doing very well in their styrofoam cups. Yarrow and Russian Sage (that I saved seed from last year) going crazy. I am a happy camper right now.

Non gardeners can never really understnd just how good it is to feel earth in your hands and watch those first seedlings appear can they? I see that you're a lot like me - using everything available to plant in. The only thing that's sacred around here is hubby's pint mug for his tea!!
Looks like you have plants everywhere!
I do have plants everywhere but in the garden. HaHa But soon...
Well started is half finished they say, and you're certainly off. :D Login or register to leave a comment. |
