Well I went to walmart this morning before heading to the gym and I ended up buying more seeds and another kit. I told myself I was only going in for body wash and face cleanser but of course I had to check out the garden centre!
So I came home today with the second kit, cherry tomatoe seeds, beef tomatoe seeds, habanaro peppers, chilli peppers and asparagus.
I spent the morning learnt how to work with the peet holders, by applying warm water and letting them expand and grow then breaking them up to plant the seeds. Covering them over, misting down the seeds and applying the dome.
Than Cole and I decided the seed trays where to low on the mantel so we got my plastic table from my office and put them in front of our living room window. Figaro was not impressed to have his cat condo moved down from the centre of the window but hey! its only temporary until it is warm enough to put them in the sun room then outside.
According to the instructions once they begin to sprout I can put them out in the sun room for a few hours a day. When the seedlings get strong enough I break out the weaker stems and keep the strongest. I can then begin taking them outside for a few hours in the day starting in the shade and working to direct sunlight. So they should harden in time to go in the ground after may long weekend!
So now in all I have seed trays with tomatoes, peppers, beets, onions and asparagus. So for the garden I am going to still do cucumber, lettuce, beans and peas. I have not decided if I will do potatoes this year because Tracy (cole’s mom) will.
It is suppose to rain today but if it does not I might start digging out my old flower beds from last year , pulling weeds and turning the soil. I need to get rid of the debris around the tulips, lilly’s and daffodils that are coming up so the weeds don’t strangle them out. Also I will prune the rose bushes. Cole can do the fruit trees with his ladder :)
My plan is to work a little bit each day starting in one area and working completely around the yard in a clock wise section. I think that will be easier than doing a little bit with everything every day. Not as over whelming.
Well that is all for now. I should make some lunch . Take care all!
