Planting Fun

What we started today:


Some of the materials.


We planted a second bean plant with one of the beans from a mature pod.





I'm using a cupcake carrier to keep the seedlings organized.  I still need to plant garlic and the herbs, but other than that, we're on our way!

This is what I used.






The bean plant



We also planted three pots of sunflower seeds to attract the bees.  

I got these great pots at the thrift store, but they didn't have any drain holes in them.  Nothing a drill couldn't fix though.....

The egg layer herself.



Her "sisters" Nutmeg and Ginger.


We usually just refer to them as "the girls" as in "Bernie and the girls".





Here's the master list of what was planted today:

Onion
Celery
Hot Peppers
Cherry Tomato
Beefsteak Tomato
Squash
Roma Tomato
Dixie Squash
Zucchini
Green Onion
Bell Pepper
Eggplant


Still to be planted directly outside are:

Sweet Peas
Grapes
2 Dwarf lemon trees
2 Dwarf peach trees
Herbs
Strawberries
Garlic
Carrots
Pole beans (on a tee pee trellis)

I wanna remind you of what that side of the house looks like right now....  You can see it here.

Cheers!
