The Beginning of my Garden...again...

This was the start of my WONDERFUL apartment garden.

The start of anything is a plan. So, this is my start. I was the proud Momma of an indoor garden when we were in the apartment last year. While my love should have been enough to have a harvest on wonderfulness, my heart was breaking during the close of my store (Borders) and the garden died. Not to mention, some jerks who found it humorous to pull out all my lettuce. JERKS. But, I now have a yard, and a BEAUTIFUL window seal looking out to the backyard that will allow me to prep, then transplant. I figured, if I blogged about this plan - I would feel obligated to follow through, Give my green thumb a shot.

What to grow? I am going to grow all the herbs I can imagine...

This was my old window garden... RIP

• Sage
• Thyme
• Cilantro
• Rosemary
• Basil
• Oregano
• Chives
• Parsley
• Mint

I am planning to have these in Mason jars in my kitchen. As for the outside...The possibilities are endless! I know the kids want to grow carrots to feed the horses that are next door at the pond. The others I am planning are:

my 1st attempt at lettuce

Outdoor window garden

Lettuce

Tomatoes

Peppers

Squash

Radishes

Strawberries

Green beans

Onions

                                                     Spinach

and Potatoes... I have read that these are very easy to grow, just require some love. We are gonna try these in a container setting first. I am so excited to start this. This is one of the main reasons I was so excited to move into this house. I don't have a day off for 8 more days, but I have the first weekend in February off, and I will have everything ready to garden ALL weekend. My oldest, Malakai loved to helped me garden in the apartment. Maybe, we will plant some pretty flowers so Alannah will get involved. Kal'El will just enjoy playing in some dirt. LOL... Until next time - pray for me to have some green thumbs!
