    I will upload them to my garden as soon as I figure out how to reduce their size but here is what I have so far.

    Not very big area, only about 20x8 but should give me enough room to grow a lot of stuff if I use a lot of trellis. Lit black bucket has dill. Short planter is carnations. The larger purple planters are summer sunset and lavender calla lilies in the second. The first has Dolly Madison and Cancun lilies. At the end in the old recycle bins I have radishes and sugar snap peas in separate bins of course.

    These are my first herbs set out. They were doing well but there is a chance of it freezing tonight and it was really cold last night so I may lose them all.

    These are my containers I have started already. Strawberries, chives, green onions, a couple filberts, 2 onions cores that grew before I could eat them last year, and a purple wandering jew I moved outside because I have too much of it already.

    Those are my early flowers, some hyacinth, lilies, daffodils and another one that I never remember.

    It is going to be a lot of work and planning to get all my herbs, the rest of the flowers, cucumbers, zucchini, tomatoes, peppers, watermelon, gourds, beans, peas, and whatever else to fit. I may have to move the melons and gourds to the back yard and take my chances with the deer and other critters but they take up so much room I may have to.

    I will try to record progress as I go. Is easy to take the pictures, remember is the hard part. Now to go and figure out how to resize them for my garden posts.

    Just as Droopy said - you are way ahead of me too. My hyacinths are only about 2" out of the soil and my lilies around 6" high.

    That looks really good, you have some gorgeous plants started out there. The flowers in the left pot that you can't remember are Tulips.

    Well the flowers are all cheats. We bought them so it really doesn't count but hopefully they will thrive and come back next year. The strawberries are all mine though, the big one is from last year so this is really it's last year but it is gonna fruit soon.
