Ah, so many other responsibilities have been calling my name. I'd love to have time to update this every day... or even every week! Alas, I have been busy focusing on my photography business and other endeavors.
I'm beyond ready to have my website finished up, logo designed, business cards printed, new lens bought, and all that jazz.
Until then, I will update as much as I can. Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and cauliflower were planted on Friday 4/13, just in time for them to soak up the weekend rain storms. My zinnias inside are getting VERY leggy. I'm not sure if I can plant the stems deeper like tomatoes to produce roots or not... Hmm.. I'll have to check on that one. I finally put up an overhead light over the greenhouse, but I think it's a little late to make super strong plants. I need to start putting them outside during the day!
The vegetables are becoming just a bit leggy, but not nearly as harsh or fast as the zinnias. The other flowers are somewhere between the zinnias and vegetables on the legginess scale.

And It Begins...
At 4 weeks out, my seeds are finally nestled in dirt with plenty of water. Ideal is 6 - 10... but who's counting?
On the docket this year:
Seedlings
Tomato : Celebrity + Brandywine + Meg's cherry tomato
Pepper : California Wonder + Jalapeno
Cucumber : Lemon
Eggplant : Black Beauty
Transplants
Sweet Banana Pepper
Cucumber
Zucchini
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Brussels Sprouts
In the Ground
Bush Bean : Kentucky Wonder
Corn : Peaches & Cream
Lettuce : Parris Island Romaine, Looseleaf
Spinach
Beet : Detroit Dark Red
Sweet Potato (not sure which variety yet)
Soybean (Edamame - not sure which variety yet)
Flower Seedlings
Zinnia : Envy + Purple Prince + Cut and Come Again
Scabiosa
Convolvulus
The weather has been amazingly warm this spring, highs in the 60s was the norm this month.... I'm loving it!
On a more serious note, It still fascinates me the amount of goodness that comes from a tiny seed. There's something just a little bit magical about planting seeds... I can't wait until August :)
Here's to a successful garden year!
