Got a Few Things Done Today

I managed to get a few things done today, in little spurts though. But heck, I'm not really complaining. ^_^
I transplanted 2 of my 4 lettuce babies (I did the first one last week >_<), for a total of 3 so far.
Still no sign of sprouts for the tomatoes or peppers, as of yet. And what I did plant today, weren't even on my list. Hahaha. Oh well. ^_^

I planted 3 of each:

Triple Yellow Daturas (Thanks Boo....pretty sure those are from you ^_^)
Red Dahlias
Morning Glory *of some sort*

I'll try to get back on track next time XD

Peppers & Tomatoes

I was able to get more seed planted today. I let my five year old choose. He didn't have to think twice -- he wanted his tomatoes and (bell) peppers!! So in, today, went the Heavyweight Bell Pepper and Bloody Butcher Tomato.

I feel like starting some flowers tomorrow! ^_^

Pictures, Finally



I finally took some pictures of my sprouts. Yay! Well, only two. They are in a three inch peat pots. I like these because, when it's time to transplant, I can just drop these in the ground or whatever and cover with dirt! Nice and easy, just the way I like it. ^_^
Anyway, here are the two pictures. Enjoy!

We Have Sproutage!!

I've been sick again. This time with strep-throat. Ugh!
So, I haven't been able to see if anything is happening with my lettuce for the last 4 days (still haven't started the pepper or tomato >_<). Yesterday, March 15th, I was feeling much better and was dying for a look! Guess what I found?? Sproutage!! Yay! I'm so excited! It's always so thrilling when you've created a life! Even if it is 'just a plant'.

So I ran to get my camera so I can show off my little babies. And of course! The batteries in my camera are dead. Grrrr..... and no other batteries in the house. Except for AAA's. Always an abundance of those for some reason. Anyway.

So here's what next on the list to be started:

Morning Glory- Grandpa Otts
Sweet Banana Pepper- Banana Bill
Sweet Bell- Super Heavyweight
Tomato- Bloody Butcher
Habanero Pepper
Liatris Spicata- Blazing Star

Unfortunetly, I think once the tom's and pep's are big enough to be planted outside, I may have to take them to my mother's and plant them there. I just don't have enough sun in my back yard. That's okay though.

Sowed Some Seeds

They had a tear, so I got out my needle and thread..........uh...anyway! (^_^)
Really though, I did finally start some seed yesterday. Some Curly Oakleaf and Heatwave Lettuce. They are sitting in my warm and sunny (enclosed) back porch. It was pretty nice yesterday and felt like I had to get out there. I'm glad I did. Next I 'll have to start the peppers and tomatoes.....should get started on some flowers too. Hmm...I should go through mt treasure box of seeds and decide on the flowers. Hey I know! I'll get my 5 year old to help. I'll let him choose. that will give us something to do later tonight. ^_^

My Order Came

Actually, it came a few days ago. I am just itching to plants my seeds! I really wanted to get them started yesterday. It was so beautiful out! I think it was 57 F, most of our snow melted. It was great. But I couldn't do anything. I've been sick for the past 3 or 4 days. And now the weather is crappy again. Figures.

I hear we are to have another snow storm tonight? Hmm.....it's the third of March....in like a lion out like a lamb??? I hope so!!! Heh, I know this id off the subject, but when I was a little kid, that phrase (In like a lion, out like a lamb...) used to scare me. Silly, huh?
