About Me

My photo
This is me. Not much to say. I think there is nothing better in the world than having a good friend that you can have an entire conversation with and never say a word. I love to read. Nicholas Sparks and James Patterson are two of my favorite authors. I am not afraid to choose a book by an unknown author if the title catches my eye. If my kitchen was not so small I would have people over all the time and cook for them. I love to try new meals and make new things. Life without a pet is not a full life in my opinion. I have one dog – Sasha. Could not imagine not having her there every day to shed all over my house and get in my way and be totally excited when I got home from work. She knows when to jump on my lap and just be there when I have a bad day. People need to give animals more credit and everyone should own one.

Vegetable Garden

March 28th Chris and I headed to Running's to plant the garden. I have decided to try and start my own seeds indoors this year instead of having to buy all the plants when it is time to plant.
We have two Jiffy Greenhouse trays with 72 pods each. If they all work, I will have way to much for my garden...might have to give some away! Who needs plants???
Okay so they are all planted.
Beef Maestro Tomato
Habanero Pepper
Straight Eight Cucumber
Celebrity Tomato
Delicious Strawberry
Red Mercury Pepper
Italian Favorite Pepper
Jalapeno Pepper
Green Sprouting Calabrese Broccoli
California Wonder Green Pepper
Long Red Cayenne Pepper
This is one tray on day 15 - the largest plants in there are the cucumbers.
Day 22
Now that everything has sprouted they have been moved upstairs to mom's bay window to get sun during the day. I figure since she has a green thumb for indoor plants and I kill the inside stuff it might be best to keep these close to her. Maybe they will actually make it to the garden.
Here is tray two on Day 22.
Next step is to weed out the weak...literally. I have to kill off some of the plants. Can only have one in each pod.
So far so good. Everything was supposed to germinate anywhere from 3 days to 21 days. Everything is up...now it is time to keep them alive until they end up in the garden! And if all else fails...I buy plants again this year. Let's hope these work.
