Growing, Growing, Still Here!

A few weeks ago, I wrote about starting my seedlings and wanted to post an update.

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly they grow. I've already done a first transplant on most of them, so in the course of just three weeks, the greenhouse is now pretty much maxed out with all kinds of tasty veggies including lots of tomatoes (4 varieties), spaghetti squash, sugar snap peas, basil, lettuce, spinach, zucchini, garlic, etc. We grow what we love to eat. I'm also going to try canning for the first time this year.

Like many other over-zealous gardeners, I've probably planted too much, but I've also gotten several requests from friends and family members for a plant here or there, so nothing will go to waste.








Now all I have to do is find garden soil! Since this is our first year in this house, I'm going to stick with container gardening until I can assess the soil and make sure it's safe.




In the meantime, I bought this bag of organic soil at Walmart and thought the bag was just so pretty that I saved it and will try to come up with an idea of what to do with it. Any ideas?
