1 week check-in

Checking in one week after planting. These beds look pretty bare right now but look at the zoomed in shots and you will see that my seeds have begun to sprout :)

Peas/beans bed


Pea sprouts


Tomato/cucumber/dill bed


Under the trellis you will see 3 sweetie tomato plants. They are climbers/vining tomatoes


Tomato/eggplant/okra/kale bed


Can you find the 3 okra sprouts?


First time growing beans and they are really taking off!


So, I have started all of the juvenile plants from seed. This is more rewarding and saves a ton of money! The only plants I bought were the marigolds, to keep pests away.

Well, that's all for now!

Starters

Getting ready for spring!

Weather has been cold lately, and my front flower bed has been sad, so I filled it in with some frost tolerant dusty millers.

Also, I have starter plants going in the Aerogarden for March planting:
