well, i did some gardening this weekend. i couldn't believe how beautiful it was outside!! i even got a little sunburned on one arm as the picture shows. i planted all of my seeds in jiffy starters until they sprout and are ready to take outside after the last freeze (whenever that might be...such crazy weather this year!). i planted three types of flowers (red nasturtium, orange cosmos, and chinese forget-me-not) which will go into pots on the front porch when they are ready. i planted bluebonnets in a hanging basket...i will miss the spring wildflowers in east texas this year. and last but not least, i planted my vegetable (tomato, jalapeno, squash, zucchini, and bell pepper) and herb (thyme, mint, parsley, cilantro, dill, rosemary, sage, and basil) seeds in jiffy mini-greenhouses until they are ready to be transplanted to pots.
i am having to put everything into pots for now until we can get settled somewhere permanent, and then i will have a full vegetable patch and flower garden. i can't wait! i will post more pictures when my flowers start to bloom. i can't wait!! i hope that i don't kill them!!!

Yea! I love gardens! I'm still very new at it, but I love it! Our summer here is winding down, but Paul and I are still bringing in basket loads of tomatos every other day (we had no idea how many plants to plant and optimistically planted 16! What were we thinking? We could feed several large families with this stuff!) By next weekend we should get some beans and some bell peppers. Sadly I can't get ahold of a jalepeno plant here. It's very depressing. You'll have to enjoy that one enough for me too!
Can't wait to see pictures as it progresses!
do you think that i could mail you some seeds for a jalapeno plant?
Hmmmm....I dunno. I'd be your best friend forever though. Sometimes things like that get through the mail, and other times they confiscate it cause its a GE free country over here, so they're a bit paranoid about seeds / beans.
That's awesome!!! Way to go!!!
p.s.....why haven't we seen eachother yet...sad :(
I love the garden!! I want one.
