Since my last post I have accomplish alot. I've turned over the soil (no tiller for me, it was all shovel), planted three different onions, beets, lettuce and chard, started seedlings for cantelope, honeydew, basil, chives, cilantro, pumpkin, bell peppers, stevia, tomato and tomatillo.
What I have to show, at this moment, with respect to the seedlings are baby plants for the pumpkin, bell pepper, cilantro and basil. As to all the others, it looks good but hard to tell until something sprouts.
I'm using egg containers to start the seedlings. They are the type of containers that are biodegradable and each carton is either twelve or eighteen plantings. I ordered, from Burpee a package of 72 growing pellets, the seeds for the stevia, tomatillo and tomato. The other seeds I had purchased from SafeWay or took them from the melons I had purchased, as in the case of the pumpkins, catelope and honeydew.
All in all, I hope to be planting the seedlings in two to three weeks (keep your fingers crossed for me). In all, if all sprout I will be planting in my little country garden another 72 plants.
Ya know what else? I have about twenty small plants coming up in the garden on their own. I believe they're melons. Why? Because with each melon we ate last season I threw the seeds into my garden. The leaf of these small plants look alot like the leaf of the small water melon leaf I planted last year. That would be nice, those small melons were very sweet and tasty.
Until next...happy gardening!
