Spring... at least in my mind

Spring has not sprung. Its a frigid 29 degrees right now. I have been a baby and not been running like I should because I want the warm weather to show up. The big problem with this is that I'm planning on running a 5K on Saturday. Oh well...

In an effort to think Spring we made an impulse purchase today at the store. You see, this will be our third summer in our house. Last year I had planned on planting a cute little vegetable garden but was gigantic at 6 and 7 months pregnant. I had no ambition to grow anything (well...other than a baby). So today at the store I declared that this would be the year.

We picked out our seeds...

Prepared the starter trays...

Sowed the seeds and labeled the trays...

Walked outside to show you the beds where the seedlings will eventually end up...

Avoided the winter pile up of dog poop...

Patted myself for a job well-done...

And then I realized I maybe shouldn't have started all of those seeds already. Only the tomatoes and peppers said they needed to be started on the instructions.

Oh well. We'll see what happens.

  1. Oh how did you start the seeds? I want to do that too! I have a little patch that I want to make into a vegetable garden this spring - I have seeds and never even considered I could start killing them before the ground was ready.

  2. We started them using a seed starter kit that we grabbed from the Garden Center at Wal-mart. I put a few of each kind of seed in each pod of peet. Its not that I'll be killing them - they're just going to be ready for the dirt way before we're clear from frost.
