Seeds!

Getting things in the mail is the BEST! 

Anyone feel especially excited by this? I mean, it's usually junk mail or bills. So getting fun things in that mail box just perks up my day!

Seeds from the Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds came the other day. I popped into the front yard to survey the boyfriends yard work duties, and saw an envelope from them. yard work surveying was promptly put on hold =) I had ordered broccoli, a fun white summer squash, tiny melons, hot peppers, and morning glories for my front yard. 

I also got a free gift of red romaine seeds! Free gifts make me smile.

I abandoned the seed starter kits I bought. They just didn't allow the plants to get big enough to realistically transplant. I have an empty planter right now and so I added some chicken manure and compost, mixed it up, and added it to my red solo cups! I started at least 3 of each plant and put them in to a plastic storage bin to serve as a green house. I'm winging it here so I hope this works!

Later on I had to add 2 watermelon seedlings to the bin. Daegan dug them up while I was building my sweet potato hills. He is such a ninja dog when he is up to naughty stuff. I never even noticed him. The root systems were pretty mangled, so I popped them into cups to try and salvage them. Here's to hoping!
