A little over a week ago, I had quite a scene in my kitchen. Robyn was over with her husband and another friend and there was dirt and packets everywhere!
No my friends didn’t trash my kitchen – I can do that well enough my self. The kitchen just happened to be the best place, and easiest to clean up – to plant seeds. The kitchen, and its adjoining sunroom/extension, is also the seeds temporary living space until they grow further, the weather warms, the swing set comes down, and we are able to plant them outside.
Here’s a sampling of what we planted:
Veggies! | Flowers |
· Carrots | · Pansies |
· Beans | · Marigolds |
· Cucumbers | · Bachelor buttons |
· Zucchini | · Snapdragons |
· Beefsteak tomatoes | · And more! |
· Tomatoes | Herbs |
· Yellow pear tomatoes | · Rosemary |
· Green peppers | · Basil |
· Pie pumpkins | · Catnip |
· Butternut squash | · Cilantro |
· Thyme | |
· Oregano | |
· Parsley |
We went a little overboard I know. We even had to run back out and get some additional supplies so that we had enough starter trays. We had a homemade dinner and they went home for the evening.
I made sure to water them the next day, waiting anxiously for the first signs of growth. Knowing that the beans would likely be the first to grow I had keen interest in the progress. A day or so later I noticed that the beans were indeed growing, but not in the way I expected. Instead of green shoots, they were fuzzy. I apparently over watered the poor beans, and will have to re-start them.
On the other hand, although it’s a mixed showing to an extent, I’m excited about the progress they have shown.
I have sprouts in:

Exciting indeed!
