My grandmother and grandfather live on a mountain and I have very fond memories of visiting there. Simply put, it's peacefully beautiful. Going to grandmas and grandpas to visit spoiled me with a place to, play, imagine, eat and unwind. The brussling trees, numerous birds, horses, deer, squirrles and butterflies make their land a piece of heaven on earth. I was reminded of this place of peace while I planted the seedlings for my, hopefully, beautiful garden to be.
I was surprised to find that my seed starters (without any seeds) had not soaked up all the water like I hoped it would. None the less, I still had an amazing time sitting outside in this perfect weather planting and dreaming.
Half way there. I think my knife idea worked great...although,
it does look a bit like a garden cemetary. I hope this isn't a bad omen! If you're wondering why so many markers, I wanted to make sure I didn't mix up any pods when I pulled them apart to transplant them.
Since this starter garden is my first, I wanted to plant as many different plants as possible. My first garden is purely experimental for educational purposes. (With hopes of getting to eat something! lol) Let's face it, theres TONS of gardening information on the web, but I think the best way is to learn is to jump right and experience it first hand.
I'm also attempting an experiment. I've planted some seeds that were suggested to be planted directly into the ground as seed starters. I'm hoping they will give me more insight as to how they grow because I was having such a hard time finding out more information on the web.
Summer Breeze Wishes,
