Oh how my garden does grow!!

Okay, I admit it. I think I definitely planted too early! Half of my stuff is already ready to go into the ground, while most of the rest will be shortly. And there are still probably 4 more weeks before I can safely put this stuff outside.

I've repotted most of the larger plants into their own pans of dirt and they're much happier now. Peat pods are really only meant for a couple of weeks and then the plants outgrow them.




Kitty just can't understand why she can't help.

The Garden - Day 7

Yay - things are actually beginning to grow! I am very excited. Things never grow for me. They die.

I've had to remove the sprouted ones from the covered trays and the only thing I had that was a decent tray substitute was a collection of pans. So the garden is a little hodge-podge right now, with the sprouts in baking pans and the rest of the crops still under cover. Once they've all sprouted I will put them all neatly back into the trays (uncovered) until planting time.

The garden is now located on a futon in Joseph's office. There they can get a nice dose of morning sunlight. His office is also very warm due to the computer, so the temperature is perfect for them. Also, his office has a door on it so we can shut the kitty out; my office does not.

Here are the sprouts:





Kitty needed to help out with the gardening...


Mmmm...I like me a good sprout!



Stay tuned for more updates!
