Tag: Making Progress ~ Tomatoes and Basil
Hello all, Yesterday I found that all my tomato and basil plants have started to sprout. I am so thrilled. Gonna go out in the back and work on repotting some stuff that needs it while my boys are napping. My hubby pulled all the soil that I had out from storage and I am gonna get busy very soon. Take care, Jeanne

Morning all, Got up this morning and it is pouring outside. I hope the rain lets up soon because I don't want my plants to drown!!! I just gave them a little sprinkle yesterday when they were dry. Do you think they will drown out? I will check on them again in a little bit. If they look like they have had enough water, I will cover them up with plastic bags or something. I am really sad because I can't go outside and check on their progress today. I really enjoy checking on them everyday because I love seeing thei daily changes. Well gotta go, kids want breakfast. Byeeee!! Jeanne

Hi all, Just got done planting 4 garlic cloves. I have them in my windowsill for now. When it gets a little warmer, I will put them outside. Everything else is doing well except 1 basil plant. It is hung over the pot.....but it is still green and it does have baby leaves on it so I am trying to nurse it back to health. Maybe if I talk to it and promise it some chocolate, it will get up again. I would get up for chocolate, wouldn't you???? Take care all, Jeanne

Good afternoon all, Checked my plants in my windowsill this morning and they are growing wonderfully!! My tomato plants made it through the chilly night. I covered them with a plastic bag last night so they wouldn't get too cold. Everything is going well! Take care all, Jeanne

Tag: Chilly!!
It is going to be quite chilly tonight so I pulled all my basil plants in. I don't want what I have left to die off. I covered my tomato plants to keep them from the chill and everything else seems to be doing ok. Gonna go to bed now. G'nite all!! Jeanne

Hello all, I just checked my garden again (boys are taking nap!!) and guess what???? I have Grape Tomato and Basil Sprouts!! I pulled them inside and sat them on my windowsill because it is just a bit chilly today. I am so happy that I have managed to get sprouts from seeds. This is proof that I can grow something.
My husband jokes, when he sees me planting something he says I am creating another "Killing Field" because of my past attempts but this year I will make him eat his words when I serve him a fresh Tomato, Basil and Mozzarella salad with the freshest tomatoes and basil locally grown (in my own back yard) by G U E S S W H O ?? Raspberries on him!!

Good Morning All, Just checked my garden this morning and I found that some of my basil has passed on!! :( I have basil planted in another pot and that seems to be doing very well. I am not going to lose hope here. I just think I have absolutely no luck with basil!!! What am I doing wrong?? Oh well, I guess I will figure it out some day!! Anyway on to other news, my grape tomato seeds have just begun to sprout!! :D I almost fell to tears on the floor when I found that!!! I can actually grow tomatoes from seeds!!! The rest of my garden is doing very well as well. My sunflowers are getting prettier and prettier as each day passes. They arent really sunflowers yet but they are the prettiest sprouts I have ever seen. I can just tell that they are going to be really beautiful sunflowers!! Gotta run, coffee is done and I am not really awake yet. Take care all, Jeanne

Hello everybody, I checked my garden today and found 2 more Sunflowers coming up. I can't believe I have so much growing in my garden. And to think I planted my butt off last year and only managed to grow 6 cherry tomatoes. This year I have 2 tomato plants going (doing great), 2 basil plants (still hanging in there), 1 parsley plant, 1 sage plant, 1 thyme plant (all doing well), tons of mesclun mix salad growing, lots of spinach coming up and just last night I discovered 2 teeny tiny daisies are now coming up. I can't wait to get my hands on some colius plants. I just love colius, so colorful and very easy to care for. Then I can take the clippings and root them in water and have even more!! :) Gotta go, take care all. Jeanne

Hello, I was just checking my plants and I now have 8 Sunflowers!!! They are growing like wildfire. I have to get to Home Depot soon and invest in a really large pot to replant them in. I think I am going to give them another week where they are right now and then transplant them then. I can't wait to take pictures and post them to show everyone my garden progress!! :) Have a good night all. I have to go to bed now before it gets any later.
Take care! :)

Tag: Gardening Progress 07
Hello there, Just wanted to stop by quickly to let you know that this morning I checked my garden and I found 7 sunflowers sprouts, 2 daisy sprouts, tons of Mesclun Mix Salad, lots of Spinach, My Spring Flowers have sprung up, Tomato Plants are really growing, Dill has just begun to show herself and my Parsley is growing beautifully. My Basil, however, is hanging on by a thread, I am trying my best to nurse it back to health.
I can't believe I only managed to grow 6 Cherry Tomatoes last year and this year I have a bunch of stuff growing!!! Believe it or not, I didn't even know what sowing was last year. I have been keeping myself busy reading as much as I can about gardening vegetables and herbs, it has helped alot. The beginning of May I am going to a gardening class at our local Library. Hopefully it will be very informative and maybe I can learn more than I have from reading the books.
Take care all, Jeanne
