Seedlings!

So (Sow), the seedlings are planted.

I had so much to do yesterday, but I get so excited about plants that I decided to put the time in and get things started.

I bought the containers that you can plant directly into the ground. I put everything except my Kale and Spinach in those. I'm leaving the Kale and Spinach outside to start - everything else I brought indoors for now.

As I mentioned in my last blog, I purchased a small green house at DrugMart. It is simply a wire rack with a plastic cover, but I think it is going to help out a lot with my plants. Especially the container ones I want to keep out past the end of the summer season.

I intend to learn more about what I can do with it as time goes on.

Enjoy the photos :)

Onion Sets

Being that I'm completely new to the back yard gardening box I'm completely fascinated by certain foods and their planting rituals. This week my eyes are SET on the onion. After eating three green onions freshly picked and cleaned from a home garden last weekend my brain has been consumed. When i started my seedlings I did plant onion seeds and I do have about 25 sprouts...but to take my onion adventure even further i decided to take a recommendation and buy onion sets. Since I had never heard of an onion set I began a little research and have learned a lot in just two days. You have three options for planting onions... 1. seeds 2. sets 3. transplants - I need to read more on this one. I think they are just sets that have matured and began to bulb. I've got two of them in action - seeds and sets. My seeds that were planted are about an inch and a half high. Some of them have been transplanted into my garden and I'm hoping they become full sized onions. About 20 or so...

Lettuce Begin Again!

A little time. A little Sunshine. A couple of cooler weather crops. And we have begun. Today I spent a good portion of my afternoon out in the garden space, readying it for the planting season. I turned the soil with the hoe.  I pulled out the little patches of grass that seeded themselves in over the course of the winter. And then I decided it was time to put my lettuce and spinach seeds in the ground.  (I haven't purchased my kale yet or that would be seeded in as well.) I'm going to head out later to get what I need to start my seedlings for the rest of the garden.  I'm a little later than I was last year, but I did have a couple of mishaps in round one that I'm going to avoid in round two!!  I love growing season!
