SEED TEST RESULTS COMING IN

I am very excited to post that after three days 8 of 10 of my save lettuce seed has sprouted... So proud that I grew it, I recovered new seed and now will grow it again:) This is just so profound for a girl like me.. I made food and did not buy it in a grocery store....

Anyhow, here are the results pics to follow later.

onion 5:10

no activity on the other but the peas are looking rather plump

Still awaiting result on the other items but this is just flipping exciting to me..

In other news, the seed are officially started. I am awaiting my last group of seed purchases by mail and 32 berry plants, blueberry, strawberry and raspberry. I am currently planning my container set ups and this wee if I get to the sump for compost I will plant peas in the bed... That's my plan:)


Afterthought: The kids were awesome today and helped me clean up some of the yard waste from last years garden, we turned the compost, added some browns and clean up some trash. I should be ready to turna nd plant by the end of this week although I don't have much compost, I may be able to add a little to the areas I am planting in . Mpther nature was a charm this afternnon and watered my compost for me:) The kid got to meet a worm they named him William he was in our compost pile hope he has lots of buddies. All in all a good, productive day:)


Happy growing
