Gardening

This year 2008 our family will be gardening. Container gardening that is, since we don't have a back yard we can use.

So this is what our plants look like as of today. We choose dwarf plants or certain variety's that grow best in containers.

We are starting our watermelon, cucumbers, and carrots, and marigolds (keep pest away), from seeds. I was not able to start my tomatoes from seeds because I was unable to find a certain BUSHY variety called Patio, so we bought the plant instead.

Isaac is very interested in gardening and I hope it continues.





We are trying two different ways to grow the seeds, and egg carton and toilet paper rolls (which are doing great). The foil is in the container for purposes of not letting the tubes fall over. And the extra sticks, well Isaac pulled them out, so we have some tubes that we're not sure what they are right now. Oh, the best thing about the toilet tubes is that you open the bottom up a little (its cut and folded over one at a time) it will break up in the soil..
