Seedlings

9:22 AM Posted In Edit This 1 Comment »
As of today all of our seeds are sprouting! I have two Jiffy greenhouses in the garage - one is growing all of our tomato and pepper seeds, and the other has broccoli, cauliflower and herbs.

I read somewhere that I should track what sprouted when, and since I'm sharing my gardening adventures here, I thought I'd log the seed info here too.

Starting out: Pouring warm water over the peat pellets in the greenhouse containers

We'll also be trying to grow strawberries and blueberries! (I couldn't resist these plants when I saw them at our local home improvement store)
This picture shows the berry plants sitting in the first layer of our herb spiral. I'm still trying to decide where to plant them.

I'm hoping to finish the herb spiral in the next week or two. We used all of the bricks we had on hand, so we'll be picking up more this weekend.

Best of luck with your gardening! I am not so good at it myself, but I do keep on tryin'. Thanks for leaving a comment, I posted my "recipe" for the creamy chicken mexicana in the comments section.
