On March 12th (just 7 days after planting):
Tomato Seedlings
The herbs have sprouted!
Not much going on here with the bell peppers and pumpkins.
Bell Pepper plants are looking good!
Nothing happening with the strawberries - we planted some little strawberry plants here today.
The tomato plants are growing.
The onions have sprouted!
Some new growth on our Japanese Maple!
New growth on the blackberry bush!
Then yesterday, on March 28th (about 3 weeks after planting):
The bell pepper seeds have sprouted! Nothing still with the pumpkin seeds - I gave up and tossed those today.
The potatoes have grown like CRAZY!! We can barely keep up!
Planted some mint from Avi Grace's garden - CoCo swears this will survive - as pitiful as it looks. I hope so because it smells SO good! Mimosas anyone?!?
The bell pepper plants are looking good - a few flower buds have appeared!
We've since transplanted the tomato seedlings - today, I thinned and spaced them.
The blackberry bush is covered in flower buds!
Our Japanese maple, which we planted last year, is so full and beautiful right now!
We recently added the blueberry "bush" (it started out looking more like a twig) to our garden bed - it sprouted leaves in just 2-3 days, so it's looking good!
Look at the onions!!!
Tomato plants have lots of flowers already!!
We'll be protecting everything with nets soon to keep the birds from eating our bounty! We learned about that the hard way last year.
Today we replaced those strawberry plants, transplanted the bell pepper seedlings, and planted some jalapeno plants! I'm so excited that everything seems to be doing so well! We are not exactly known for our green thumbs around here! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything actually produces!!!
Oh, we also got a hydrangea today which I have always wanted and just never got - they are so beautiful!
I love this time of year - seeing all the lovely signs of Spring just make me happy!
