The time is FINALLY HERE!!!
I've been hardening my seedlings for over a week. The tilling & prep work for the garden is complete & I've planted some of the seedlings. Yay! I have lettuce, tomato, sweet basil, cabbage, and onion seedlings planted. I have more seedlings to plant still. There are Snow Pea seeds & carrot seeds in the ground as well.
I'll take pics & post them soon.

The Seeds Are In the Pods!
It's that time of year again! Time to start the seedlings indoors. I do have to go buy more pods & seeds though. But so far, Trin & I planted Jalapeno, tomato, red & sweet onion, and bell pepper seeds. Now to water and wait.
This year I'll till the soil & do it all traditionally. The last 2 yrs I've used the lasagna garden method with minimal success. Maybe I'm just a traditional kind of girl! haha
Ok, that all for now.

Um, I believe I forgot to blog...after May of last year.
So anyways. Almost 1 yr later..or less..I shall continue this garden blog.
I know I said I was going to till the rest of the garden but I ended up using the lasagna garden method throughout the entire garden. (I promise to till this spring..ya, we'll see ;) During the summer, we had record rain which was nice because I didn't have to water hardly at all. However, too much rain on pumpkins and corn make for disaster. My 1 pumpkin plant that came up ended up drowning and dying. And the corn only produced minimal ears. Also, I need to find out what corn I grew the first year I gardened. This corn I've been growing the past couple of years is very weird and short. Kinda strange.
Well now we're into winter and gardening is a thing of the past..and future. I did have one lone cabbage plant out there but that has gone away as well. I didn't prepare the ground using the "Lasagna Garden" method last fall. So I'm pretty sure I will HAVE to use someone's tiller this spring which I think will make for hardier veggies anyways. My first year having a garden I did everything very traditional and had the most lush garden. So, I'll try it that way again. I'll just need to put down garden plastic to keep weeds from growing.
Okay, this is it for now especially since no one's thinking about veggie gardens right now anyways! LOL
