Seedlings
This first set is the front garden, the massive one.
1. Garden from front porch
2. North side of the garden
3. Cantaloupe seedlings (that have taken so long to come up!)
4. Tomato plants that our landlord brought over (south side)
5. Cilantro seedlings (south side)
6. North side
7. Spinach seedlings! (I thought it was grass at first, but waited and looked it up online!) (north side)
8. Radish seedlings! They were the first to come up and are doing really well (south end of north side)
9. Bad picture, but definitely carrot seedlings (north end of south side)
10. Beet seedlings! (north side)
11. Dill seedlings (south side)
12. View facing north
13. View facing south
This set is from the planter box that we brought up from Portland. I planted these before the front garden.
1. Whole box
2. Whole box
3. Broccoli seedlings! (north side)
4. Zucchini seedling - I am obsessed with these fat leaves. (south side)
5. Turnip seedlings! I got lazy and just threw a lot of seeds into each spot, and I definitely didn't plan any spacing and this is what I got. I transplanted some, which are still alive but they didnt like it, and are a lot smaller than these ones now. So I am just going to let them compete, I think.
These are inspired by my new book! I am going to be buying a lot of fruit to eat, and saving their seeds, crowns, eyes, etc to plant. So far I have cut up two mealy organic Fuji apples (one of which already had seeds sprouted inside!) and removed the seeds. The rectangular tray (which is a plastic cherry tomato tray) has the sprouted ones. The soup can has the ones not yet sprouted. Tha avocado in the water trick that everyone knows (I have to buy tooth picks) and old garlic that I have to do something with.
I AM SO EXCITED.
Also, I went to Lowe's again today? I can't help it. Daniel paid me to get a Ziptruck so he can get a mattress (finally!) and i used the remainder of the reserved hour to get a thing to wind up the hose, peat moss (I'll explain later!), rocks (I know, weird), and more soil.
I have to go to worrrrrrrk!
