So as a family we have decided that we are going to plant a balcony garden this year. We decided to start growing indoors first because it still gets pretty cold outside at night (oh and during the day. haha). We have about 5 books about gardening that we have collected over the years and we finally began to thumb through them. About 10 minutes later we realized that we have no clue about gardening. So with a lot of seeds and faith we added dirt and water. Over the weeks we have seen our mini jungle form and have been so excited about it. I realize now that we have over planted and am so sad to have to sacrifice some of these plants so that others can grow. I am so excited to have our mini garden and will update the progress for it. We have started it inside because it is still cold outside, but hopefully it will warm up soon.
This is our little strawberry plants. Which I didn't think I was going to see because the seeds were so itty-bitty , but they surprised me and started to sprout.
It is now November 15 and our garden has not really bloomed but it does have determination and that is why I have not given up on it yet.
We did get a mini green pepper. Some mini tomatoes. If there was a contest for best mini garden I think we would win. :)
The bottom picture is green onions that we planted and hoped to maybe get one or two. haha.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing better than I did last year. I tried to start some herbs but only about 4 different ones were big enough to plant outside. Better than none I suppose.
ReplyDeleteYay for you! Great idea. :)
