A home for the seedlings:-)

We constructed (or, I should say my husband constructed) a raised bed for my vegetable garden. So, I transplanted my seedlings of tomatoes, basil, peas, beans, dill, parsley, cilantro, and cherry tomatoes. They all look so tiny now, but the heat of the summer will bring them to life. This is the first raised bed garden I've had, and I'm seeing the benefits of planting and keeping critters away from the young seedlings in a bed that rises above the lawn. Hopefully, we'll be able to enjoy the harvest of vegetables come mid-summer:-)


 Happy gardening!

Still waiting...

Will these cooler temps ever leave us?? I was finally able to get my plants outside, and the forsythia is out, but my veggies and herbs are still pending. They haven't yet taken away the 'frost' warnings for us this year:-( So now they're in a transition planter trough. I take them out during the sunnier time slots in the afternoon, and bring them in at night. We've ordered a raised bed planter framework to use once the weather softens temps, so there will be ongoing photos and updates throughout May, and beyond.
Stay warm until the nip is out of the air.


Happy gardening!
