7/18/10

Greetings all!
The seedlings are doing fine. Tomorrow afternoon we will be planting more, in preparation for the coming fall season. (I have read you can start planting near the end of August/early September. We also picked up a small raised bed kit on clearance at walmart last time we were there, so I will be dedicating that to onions. Since it would be hard to grow those in buckets anyway, with the addition of the raised beds we will actually have a onion patch!

Also, this week I will officially start a new gardening blog, since this one was originally intended to just be about family happenings.

Hope everyone has a great week!

7/1/10 Another Garden Update

Well,
it seems that every single time we walk by the seedling tray, something is a little taller. There are only 3-4 peat pots out of the 36 that still have no growth. How exciting! In a few months those trips to the produce department will be a thing of the past! I would say by the end of next week it will be time to plant some buckets!!!!

Here are some updated pictures:

And here is a shot of the whole tray. Looks much different than under a week ago.
