Spring Gardening 2010!

Yeah baby! Spring is in full swing and I actually got off my ass enough to build a raised garden bed (well actually, Jarvas did a lot of it) and do a whole mess of other things to get my container garden ready for planting. Sowing the seeds was the easy part, now all I have to do is wait... Anyway here are some pics of my work. Hopefully everything will grow in and look beatiful in a couple of months. I planted lots of herbs, 3 kinds of tomatoe, 3 kinds of lettuce, spinach, beets, carrots, and radishes. Later I hope to plant some pole beans, we will see...

Garden Update

I started my seedlings in egg crates a couple weeks ago and had them germinating on top of the fridge under a fluorescent light. They came up quick and grew well for almost a week, then they wilted and died... so sad. I put so much effort into it and I'm not terribly sure where I went wrong. Possibly, I shouldn't have started the seeds in a compost mix that I baked to sterilize it? I am going to start seedlings in pots outside in about a week. Hopefully that works, I really don't know how many set backs my optimism can take before curling up to die...
