Where my garden will go

This is the first melted spot in our yard so I guess this is where everything will get planted.

Herb Garden - Take 2
April 16, 20100 Comments
Today I decided that I was going to get the new seeds I picked up into the pods so I might have them by mid summer.  I re-read the packaging and I think that I didn't leave the last ones in the green house for as long as they needed.  Oh well, now I had a little bit of experience. 
This picture is really just for my records so I can see the order I have them in.  I thought that I had some Avery Address labels to mark the rows but I couldn't find them in the office.

So Pete hit the mountain again today and I stayed home to get a jump on cooking dinner for tomorrow and to do some spring cleaning and laundry.  I mainly focused on our room since I will normally clean from Living Room to the back of the apartment which means our room just has everything thrown into waiting to be sorted.

I needed to plant the pods I had seeded into pots before they died so here is what sprouted. 
I'm planning on having my next batch of pods just herbs, so we'll see how it does.  0 of the 4 I planted did anything.  I think that the seeds are just too old and I might need to buy some more.  Good thing Walmart's seeds are so cheap.

When Pete got home he hopped in the shower and I heated up some of the chicken from the other night.  I made some more sauce and this time I had the fresh parsley needed.  It really does make it look so much nicer.

We watched the race and TV for a bit before having dinner.  I was beat so we had frozen nuggets and fries for dinner.  It was quick and easy so it hit the spot.

More Sprouts!
March 28, 2010 2 Comments
I'm happy to officially announce that half of my garden is showing signs of life. 
This means that my 2 flowers and un-organic veggies are starting to sprout.  My herbs and peppers are still showing no signs of life but I have faith.  If the herbs don't sprout then I'm not to worried about it.  The seeds are a few years old but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.  

It looks like time to transplant the original 2 that popped up.  I have a few pots that are empty just waiting for some flowers.  The apartment is filling up pretty good with plants now.  Even the two that we took from NY are growing pretty well.  I'm surprised they made it all the way here and I've even been able to start a new plant with one of them.

Today is the big day, in an effort to really shed some pounds I'm giving up caffeine.   I started today and being the junkie that I am I had a killer headache by 2pm so I took a nap and that seemed to make it better.  I knew it would be a pain but it's for the best and I'm still drinking coffee.  Julie bought us a few pounds of decaf by mistake once so that's what I'm using. 
 So I was going to try to do some running around today but it looks like I'll be staying in.  We've been having these weird power outages.  Nothing major, just for a few minutes at a time and it was over by noon I'd guess. 

It really makes me happy that I wasn't starting my garden outside since as you can see from yesterday, you never know what the weather will do.  My mini indoor garden has just sprouted it's first signs of life and I really can't tell you how excited I am.
