My first blog

So, Beth tells me I need to blog about our project and of course being me I am like "I don't know what to say" or "I will sound stupid." So I decided enough is enough....I am just going to do it and be proud of it. So here we go!

We planted these the other day: Cardinal climbers, Pansies, and Gaillardia. I know that Beth and Maddie planted some others but I am not sure what those were. We also went to Goodwill and found a lot of interesting pots. It was of course the usual crowd at Goodwill but we survived. Found some cute pots (and more). We planted some cilantro and I put mine in the garden window. I haven't seen any sprouts yet but I know they are coming! It's always exciting to see that first little sprout pop out of the dirt. You are like...it worked...it actually worked! That little, teenie, tiny seed (any some of those seeds are so tiny that you almost need a microscope to see them) produced a living plant. And that plant will grow and grow to who knows how big and give you beautiful blooms and wonderful vegetables.

Also, my husband, Kevin, has started building tomato cages out of cedar. They should last a long time. I will post pics when he is done. They are very sturdy and should work really well. I was just tired of the flimsy wire cages that always seem to fall over at the drop of a hat (Especially with our tomatoes!).

Well, this weekend I plan on planting some more herbs for my garden window and a couple of flowers too. Which reminds me....Kevin went to Fred's yesterday and saw the buy 2 get 1 free deal on seeds. I came home from work and saw the 3 packets sitting on the counter. I thought...hmmmm.....Beth must've brought them over. But why would she? So I asked Kevin and he said he saw the sale and thought they were "cool looking." I never thought my contractor husband would think flowers were "cool looking!"

TTFN,
