Very exciting, VERY exciting indeed! Mom produced me with some dirt. I would have bought it myself, but as we are all well aware,... I'm cheap. Plus I forgot that I could acquire some from my friendly neighborhood garden providers. They have a mountain of dirt that currently has no home or plant to cover until I get the remaining leaves cleaned out of the area.
Speaking of them by the way, I mentioned to mom that perhaps since she's going through yard withdrawal as well, that I'm sure she'd be welcomed to join me on a weekend to bring the Emma-pie and let her play whilst she aids me in the garden. They are such wonderful people those Morton's. I honestly want to repay them by making what I think will be a grand garden for them. I think she wants to plant an actual garden with potatoes, which is something I would love to do, but in order to do that I think we'd have to find a different plot. The current plot providers aren't into growing root veggies I think.
Nice and tall those sunflowers are. I wish they'd hold off just a wee bit longer, I have to wait another two weeks before they go into the ground and all. I would prefer if they'd get more stocky rather than taller, but they are already growing a second pair of leaves! Those in the middle there are the cumin, looking very nice and healthy. They didn't make it into the pot today. Only the basil managed that feat, though I did plant, in that short snubby pot, some chives! I new attempt. Anyway, the little ones are the strawberries, finally getting on their way. They are three where they once were only two and I'm so pleased. The poor man's weather glass, they are doing alright but I still need some research done on those. Make sure they aren't climbers.
Alls looking great people! Can't wait to keep a weather eye on the horizon for those baby chives (Nicky has some accidental ones in her garden, lol), and get this garden off to a better start than spring is!
