The seedlings I planted about two weeks ago have burst through the soil and are healthy and growing like crazy. Can you identify with that feeling of looking in at your seedlings, and seeing some green heads poking through the soil? I was so happy! I can't wait until it's time to plant my tomatoes (and other goods) outside and to eat a salad made from produce totally foraged from my very own backyard. I've also planted lettuce, carrots, green onions, peppers, nasturtiums, impatiens and geraniums in containers out on the back porch - and there are lots of sprouts popping up in these containers too. I love heading out back when I come home from work to admire all the work I've done. It hasn't even been too much trouble or overly expensive, especially when I consider that amount of produce I'll be enjoying over the summer (that is if little critters and other backyard visitors don't enjoy them first!). The advice you've all given me in this post has been put to good use.
Don't forget to enter the Air Miles My Planet giveaway. I'll be picking five winners tomorrow afternoon.
Check out my sprouts (I'm just so proud of them, I had to show you).
My little seddlings have burst through the soil!
