Waiting for Spring 2016

Well, they said it would rain this weekend and it did. Power outages and down trees galore. I'm laying here in bed ready to call it a night and all I'm thinking of is springtime. I love planting seedlings and seeing them grow. What grows in your garden? I'm pretty limited with space here in the condo. Look what I started. You can barely see the little cilantro leaves. My little farm animals  can't

  wait either!

Cute little mini green house


Let's start with the directions. I hope its easy and simple. Looks easy enough right?

1. Place the growing medium pellets in a bowel or cup.
2. Add approximately  6 tablespoons of lukewarm water.
3. Let the pellets absorb the water.
4. Use a a fork to fluff.
5. Put the growing medium in the pot.
6. Sow only 10 seeds in the pot and use the extra seeds in the garden.
7. Place the seeds on top and lightly press the the seeds into the growing medium.
8. Cover with lid and place in a sunny location.
9. Keep moist.
10. Transplant when the plants are 3" tall to a larger pot or in your garden.
11. Be sure to add plant food when plants are 3" tall.

Those are 11 major steps and commitment. Holy cow am I ready for such a green thumb relationship with my little green house? Look below! Love it!

          This brought tears to my eyes....it's my first from a seed!
