I am sorry. But I must bore you again this year. I cannot begin my planting without taking pictures of dirt and sharing them with you. So hang in there. The green will be coming soon!
 |
| It's dirt. That is all at this point. Just dirt. |
 |
| Okay so maybe it's a special organic seeding dirt made moist by a rooting hormone/vitamin solution and labeled with plastic knives marked with a Sharpie. Nothing crazy. |
 |
| This is what I am planting in the pots. Tomatoes, peppers and eggplant. These must be started indoors. |
 |
| These are my remaining seeds that can be direct sown once the soil is consistently warm. |
 |
| I had trouble watering my seedlings last year. The spray bottle took too long and pouring water from a cup would spill over the edge and displace the dirt. So I bought these plastic ketchup and mustard bottles for about 99 cents. They allow enough water out to be practical but not too much to make a mess. So nice! |
 |
| I am so proud. I kept two geraniums alive all winter long in my sun room. They are starting to green up and flower again! Two plants I do not have to buy for the porch this spring! |
 |
| This is an experiment. I want to grow sweet potatoes. This is the way you get slips. Or so I'm told. I'll let you know how it goes. No roots yet. |
 |
| Our chickens are producing well. 4 chickens=4 eggs a day! |
 |
| I'm not sure what happened here. I think someone just blew his mind. |
 |
| Awww. I love the way things grow around here. |

Your "boring" garden post had me all ears-or eyes. Looks like your off to a great start. I wish wish it was time here....patience, patience I tell myself. Gonna have to try out the ketchup/mustard bottle idea. I have had similar probs getting those little guys watered.
I knew I could count on my fellow garden nerds! I love you girls!
Vera, I am so glad you found me! It's part of why I blog, to share our lives with our family that lives far away. I told hugged Matt for you and he wanted me to tell you hello. I pray blessing on you!
