It’s that time of year!
We haven’t been away on holiday yet, but most of our weekends in 2015 have been spent traveling or busy with other things, so it was a struggle to get some plants in the ground before April was over.
I really wanted to go to a gardening center, but that involves organizing a car rental, so I decided to go ahead and try some more seeds this year in addition to my usual starter plants. I bought a lot more varieties than last year!
I’ve got seeds for tomatoes, Swiss chard, cucumbers, peas, carrots, peppers, and a few types of lettuce. I am also using some more yellow squash and cilantro seeds from last year.
I haven’t planted all the seeds yet because I need more pots and soil. Some are OK to plant in May outdoors, so I think I will wait until then. I also planted already the starter plants for basil, parsley, sage, oregano, rosemary, cilantro, thyme and a cherry tomato plant.
Also coming back from last year is the lavender, mint, chives and even one of the parsley plants seems like it is perking up a little.
What are you planting this year?
A swap partner sent me some kitchen herb seed balls, so I’m going to give them a go this year. Found some Moisture Control potting soil that is supposed to prevent against both over and under-watering, so maybe these little pods stand a chance against my Black Thumb.
