This is a photo of my teenager holding his pancakes and my mother-in-law cooking in the background. Looking at those pancakes is making me hungry right now. That's my adorable baby having a great time exploring and getting into stuff.After breakfast, we headed over to Home Depot to get some seeds I wanted to plant for this 2nd season. I ran into a nice gentleman who was picking seeds for his garden. We had a nice conversation, he was very helpful and offered me a lot of great advice. I guess I don't have to worry about people being stingy with the knowledge or experiences.
The day ended with me setting up my gardening space in the backyard. My husband helped me set up the tables and it was all fun and games from there.
This is the seed starting soil I'm starting with. It's 100% organic by Jiffy.I've placed my starter pods in a plastic container so that the water from them won't ruin my table. I watered the pods first because they are super absorbant and wanted them to soak it up faster. Then I added the soil to the pods. I'm going to let them soak overnight before I plant the seeds. I did that because I was still working on picking the seeds I wanted to plant, and if I planted them tonight I would of felt rushed. So, tomorrow I'll be planting seeds. Yeah!! ;0)
The extra water you see in the container is about an inch deep. Tomorrow I will know if this was too much or not enough. Either way, it will be ok because I can dump the excess on the lawn or fill it with more.
Once I plant my seeds I will mark them with these knife markers. I had this box from years and years ago that wasn't being used. So, instead of buying more plastic, I chose to use these knifes. I used a permenant marker and will use them over and over again.
This is my 17 month old future homesteader. He's the dreamy apple of my eye! ;0)Warm Wishes,
Monica ;0)
