Funny thing is, as the years go by, I use more space inside my house for seedstarting. Year 1-the kitchen, Year 2- the kitchen and the family room facing the backyard, and this year- kitchen plus small nook off the kitchen and the family room...what's next? Living room, bedrooms upstairs? Don't think so...But if everything goes as planned and we get the shed we need, I might convince my husband to add a small greenhouse on its side.More things happening inside:
My loving husband gave me an AeroGarden for Christmas. I set it up the day after Valentine's Day, on 02/15. Here are a few pictures:
After the easy assembly, the herb pods went in and got covered with the plastic domes.
Fill the tank with purified water (couldn't use well water, not sure why), plug it in, and forget it.
A week later, we had a few seedlings, so I took the domes of those herbs.
On week 2 and 3, I forgot to take pictures. But this is the way they look today, 4 weeks after I planted the herb pods:
I had to raise the lights one notch today...the dill is pretty tall.
I also planted some lavender seeds in a pot, and gathered all my gardening books and magazines to bring to the work area.
And here's the reminder on why I really should not go to B&N or shop Amazon this spring - I don't need any more books on gardening...I've acquired quite the collection during the past 3 years...this year I also borrowed a few from the library, and there's a few that are not pictured here because I lend them or they're by my night stand:
Do you actually think I'll have time to read all that? Of course not, although is tempting not to cook, do laundry, clean or go to work just so I can read them...I do go through them, re-reading my favorite parts...and they're good reference material throughout the gardening season. But seriously, I don't need anymore, at least this year.
