Every year, me and my mom make a garden together. This year, we felt adventurous and start our own seedlings. We got the seeds from the Vesey seeds website.
Since the seeds are from Canada, it took a month to get to VT (which we didn't plan on).
Here are the brands/types I'm using:
Veseys:
Tomato Applause
Tomato Tiny Tim (extra early mini cherry)
Summer Squash Richgreen (early hybrid zucchini)
Pepper Early Jalapeno (Certified Organic)
Pepper Fat 'n Sassy (hybrid sweet green pepper)
Pumpkin Howden (hallowe'en pumpkin)
Cucumber Sultan (Beit-Alpha cucumber)
Beans Stringless Blue Lake (Early Green Pole)
Burpee:
Nasturtium Alaska (Capuchina Alaska)
Garden Bean Burpee's Stringless Green Pod
Pea Super Sugar Snap
Onion Parade
Page's Seeds:
Lettuce Mesclun Blend
Spinach Bloomsdale Long Standing
Fredonia Seeds:
Radish Early Scarlet Globe
Ferry Morse:
Chives
Parsley
Basil
I reused rinsed out yogurt and frosting containers as planters.
I drilled holes in it with my Black and Decker drill.
Here's everything I used to plant the seeds. I love Miracle Grow!
These seeds are a lot bigger than I expected!
Nasturium are a natural bug repellent. I've never grown them before, so we'll see if it works. I have to look up what kind of bugs they repel still. They will look pretty no matter what!
Since VT is still at risk of frost, I brought the seeds inside. They don't need to be in the sun, but I put them in front of the window anyways, so I don't have to move them again!
This is my indoor "garden" so I can get my gardening fix during the winter. It's just a plastic shoe mat from Bed Bath and Beyond to stop the dirt and water from running everywhere.
I bought a little gnome the other day from JoAnne Fabrics. I love him! He's so cute! He makes me giggle!
To tell each plant apart, I labeled the containers with numbers; this way I can reuse the containers next year and not have to match them up exactly with the plants.
Here's the lettuce and spinach I'm trying to grow inside (it's an experiment). The huge branch is my 2nd attempt to grow a blueberry bush from cuttings (Rootone and water); if it works, then I'll post directions.
That's all for now. Next thing to do is to measure out my square foot garden!
Ta ta for now! :)
They've just started to grow leaves! I need to replant some of them. I grew too many in one area.
