Garden Grow.

Derek and I had talked not too long ago about growing some of our own veggies this year. I thought doing them in my terracotta pots would be nice and easy (however I did pick up some seeds to throw into one of our back gardens that are bigger!) and economical. I LOVE tomato's and so does Alexis - Derek not so much ... he's finicky about when he likes to eat them. However Derek does enjoy peppers and so does Alexis - I however do not care for them ... see a theme here? 


So I picked up a package of each, and found this nifty little "at home garden" thingy to do them in. Franky Flowers on BT (does anyone else know who this is lol?) said last week to start getting them ready as you want to do them 6-8 weeks before the last frost so he said around May 1st they should be ready and able to go into the ground.



So off Alexis and I went this afternoon to get our little seeds a growing!

I thought this would be a good project for Alexis but failed to remember the itty bitty seeds and how easily they would get stuck/lost/ate/brushed off the table .... you get the idea right?


So half way through my "assistant" took a small cookie break, while I finished them off.


(she did have a shirt, and does have pants ... but apparently at our house Alexis believes clothing is optional!)

So while my assistant enjoyed her cookie, I quickly finished popping the seeds in and covering them up. Then quickly made tags so I knew what was what and put the lid on them. The box states then to put them somewhere out of the light and warm. So I did.



What are you planning on growing this year?
