Unbelievable

Guess what....I dropped my other phone and severely cracked the screen, and I just  downloaded the Blogger app again. Honestly I didn't realize Blogger wasn't on this new phone until this very morning when I wanted to upload a photo and talk about expanding my garden. Yup, I can't believe I forgot all about my day one, oh life goes on. Stay tuned for all garden adventures coming up.

Gardens are a form of autobiography.

Quote of the Week

I like gardening--it's a place where I find myself when I need to lose myself.

Quote of the Week

"Half the interest of a garden is the constant exercise of imagination."

                                                                   ~Mrs. C.W. Earle,

                                                                                           Pot-Pourri from a Surrey Garden, 1897


When I found this quote over at www.quotegarden.com , it really spoke to how I feel about gardening.  I get a lot of satisfaction from taking care of and harvesting from my garden, but there's also a wonderful feeling around the creative process and imagination plays a big part in the creative process.

Every winter I meticulously go through all of my seed catalogs, gardening books/magazines and Youtube garden channels that I'm subscribed to, to get my gardening desires flowing. Who knows maybe I'll find a great tip or maybe I'll find a wonderful craft idea to borrow, but one thing I know for sure is--my creativity for the garden seems to come to life and I'm filled with ideas of what to plant and where to plant for the year.

Is your imagination taking off yet or is it still dormant until Spring? Are you planning to grow anything different this year? I'm not much of a planter of flowers, I love growing herbs and vegetables, but my hope is to bring more flowers into my yard and garden this year.

Gardening Update

Sorry for the late update and sorry that it isn't very detailed. I'm writing this post on my phone and I really don't know how to display the photos and write what everything is. So, basically you're looking at early broccoli seedlings in the first egg carton from three weeks after planting,and the next picture with the egg carton with plastic wrap is eggplant and jalapeño seedlings. The plastic covering really helped these sprouts a long. The third photo is a picture of the broccoli seedlings once again....they have really grown....not bad when the only source of light is on a window sill. Lastly, but not least,are two plastic cups growing lettuce.... I actually have four cups growing lettuce, but I could only get two cups in the picture. I'm growing Red Romaine lettuce, the broccoli is Di Cicco,the eggplant is Aswad and the jalapeños are called Tam. Oh yeah before I forget....the Violet De Galmi onions never did sprout...I should've taken before and after pics(Lol). Well that's a little bit of the gardening happenings in my house,until next time...happy gardening!  😄😄😄😄

My First Seed Starts of 2015

Just put some onion and broccoli seeds,in some egg cartons to get a jump start on the gardening season. I'll update later on about my progress and until then....welcome to the garden season!
