What is the point of living on a farm, if you don't partake in some kind of agricultural endeavor.
To that end, Mon Amour and I purchased a bunch of different kinds of seeds.
They were 20 cents a packet. Yay!
They also had some packets that were $1.50 a packet...do you think our seeds will grow less cause we didn't spend that extra $1.30 on them? We shall find out.
Now we just need to get official approval to actually dig up our backyard....since we are actually still renting.
Until then, I have a few things started in doors at this point.
This is some thyme, or oregano, I forget which. We will find out I suppose.
This picture is a couple weeks old - I recently moved this one to a bigger pot.
I also did plant a bunch of the seeds that said that they could be started in doors. Before you know it I should have cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, watermelons, and all kinds of herbs ready for harvest! Assuming of course I am actually permitted to move all these plants outside....
I have not even begun to dig yet, so I suppose this project is only about 5% done...I am pretty excited about it though.
Oh, just as a random tidbit, we made a conscious decision NOT to purchase/plant any corn or zucchini. Corn - for obvious reasons, they will soon plant about a million acres of all around our house. Zucchini - my land lady grows this, and, yes, the rumors are true - by then end of the summer we will all be wondering what in the world to do with all the zucchini!

Okay, first of all, WHERE did you get seeds for 20 cents?! The best I could find were the $1.50 ones, and that was for annual flowers! The vegetables were more!
Secondly, I'm so excited to see your little garden. Can I garden vicariously through it while I'm waiting for my container tomatoes to sprout?
20 cent seeds available at Walmart - on the end of an aisle. They have another end of aisle which is for "organic" seeds - those are pricey. Then they have a whole aisle of all kinds of seeds - also pricey. But, on a less-prominent end of aisle they have their cheap-o seeds.
What fun! I so wish I could have a garden! Maybe someday we will have a real yard. :)
We miss you guys already!
Have a wonderful week. :)
I have indeed missed your posting this week :-)
