Aaaaand We're Off

Today I planted 6 different tomato plant seeds, 30 in all.

Sun Sugar-a small yellow
Brandy wine-a pinky-red beefsteak
Mortgage Lifter-large 1/2-1lb. fruits
Sweetie-cherry tomato
Cherokee Purple
Big Red-an heirloom

If half make it, we'll still have plenty to harvest. I also started red onion and mesclun seeds. The 5 paper egg cartons fit perfectly in the tray.

Getting ready for 2013

Ms. Griffin sent me a note telling me to let her know what plot near us we might want to farm this summer. While HH is probably enough, I was thinking a little more space for runners like melons and sweet potatoes might be nice.

It was just one year ago that I started my milkjug greenhouses for last year's garden. Probably time to get started on that for this year. Hopefully my seeds will be in this week. I've been saving paper egg cartons to use as starter cups. I'm hoping they'll work as well as the newspaper cups.

Getting ready

Last night I ordered seeds from the Urban Farmer site. They had some different items that I'd like to try.
