Weekend of gardening

Thanks for inviting me to post Sarah!

The weekend was full of gardening activity. I took a trip to Home Depot and bought some window boxes, pots and lots of soil. I also bought some tomato plants and a strawberry plant. Those seem difficult to start from scratch. They came in degradable containers, so you just rip off the bottom and then plant the whole thing. This is a very "urban garden" picture of the tomato plant after I transferred it.





Last Monday I planted seedlings in the same pellets Sarah used. I got sprouts by Wednesday - first peas, then beans and zinnias. Now I also have basil and chives coming up. Today I actually see some jalepeno sprouts too. Saturday I transferred the beans and peas to some of the new planters I bought. Their roots were coming out of the pellet and I think they needed more space.
