Today

I cleared some weeds, well lots of weeds, planted some tomato starts, as well as planted cucumber, sunflower and eggplant seeds. Eggplants will come really late in the garden this year because the ones I started in the house didn't make it through their time indoors. They were looking so good, too, but I did have a few times where I forgot to give them their second watering. The eggplants were planted in a cardboard egg carton and plants dry out very quickly in that type of environment, and then add on the fact that Spring weather has home temperatures fluctuating so much, along with a plant parent becoming busy with other things, a loss was bound to happen. This year I loss 18 black beauty eggplants, now I'm hoping I can at least get two plants for the season.

Today....

I turned the compost and smell that delightful earthy smell with a hint of onion in one bin. What did you do today in your garden?

Happy Earth Day!

Today I Did

Finally got some Echinacea seeds planted behind the mailbox today. 

Today was a Good Day

Don't have any pictures, but Today was a very productive day. The grass in the front yard was cut, did a little trimming of overgrown branches and bushes. Hope to get more done tomorrow or later in the week, but we'll see. Also took time to get more planters setup. Today, I planted some lilly seeds that were given to me and the anticipation is already getting to me, I also planted pepperoncini, basil and daisy seeds. I'm excited for them as well, but whenever I grow something new my excitement and anticipation is above a ten, as always I keep my fingers crossed for nice growth and a fantastic gardening season!
