Three on Thursday

How to grow a garden, in three easy steps:

 1.  Plant seeds



2. Tend seeds until they grow to be seedlings

Jet Star and Roma tomato seedlings

Napa cabbage and Brussels sprouts seedlings

3. Plant seedlings in the garden (and be patient and encouraging)

They don't look like much now, but hopefully, they'll be producing tomatoes in August.

 The peas (and blue bottles) are looking good!

    I am always impressed by your garden -- and also very amused by your sign! I need to start some other seedlings (we discovered cucumber and butternut squash seeds), but I've got some sunflowers and peas started already. Of course, I don't have quite your good setup, nor have I managed to find those rare blue bottles quite yet.

    I'm so glad you were able to get your garden in this year! Now . . . it'll be exciting to see everything GROW. (I love your blue bottles so much.) XO

    I'm not a consistent gardener, and I don't think I've ever started my own plants, but I'm looking forward to picking up a bunch of seedlings from my CSA farm next week!!!

    Plant and watch in horror as everything freezes. :( Yep, that's what happened to our tomatoes and potatoes. Smith had to buy all new tomatoes. :(

    Step Three is my favorite. It's been awhile since I started seeds indoors. I did plant some zinnia and cucumber seeds outdoors though. So far I think the birds have had quite a meal from the zinnia seeds. Your garden looks like it is off to a good start.

    Another good item to start your planting in, is an empty roll of toilet paper, cut in half, then make a little cut out of newspaper and put the cut tube in the cup... biodegradable
