Garden Plan

First plant five rows of Peas : Preparedness, Promptness, Perseverance, Politeness, and Prayer.

Next to them plant three rows of Squash : Squash Gossip, Squash Criticism, Squash Indifference.

Then put in five rows of Lettuce: Let us be Faithful; Let us be Unselfish; Let us be Truthful.

No garden is complete without Turnips: Turn up for Church; Turn up with a Smile; Turn up with a new Idea; Turn up with real Determination.--- The Friendship Book.

Thank you to Stewart Greenwood of France for sharing this with me.

Sprouts

I planted cucumbers and eggplants on Sunday and yesterday I had one of each germinated! Wow!

Also after several weeks, one of the habanero seeds has germinated.

Finally, some of my tomato seedlings are on their third sets of leaves.

What good news. Can't wait to plant them outside,

Garden Update


The view of my garden from my study window.

Saturday I planted Brussels sprouts for the very first time. I also planted onion sets and plants.


Today I transplanted the tomato seedlings to their own pots and seeded eggplant, cucumbers and basil.

Under the lights!

Seedlings and other plantings


Here are my tomato seedlings. The peppers haven't shown yet.

Today I planted buttercrunch lettuce, beets, and spinach. I am surprised that the peas are not up yet with our warm temps.
