Well, I got those little greenhouses with the pods at Walmart.
I started more seeds - they are under the lamps as we speak.

I'll let you know in a week how they're going.

I remember when Daddy arrived with the trees the year after we got married

then before we sold the propety next year we transplanted all the trees .. they are all doing well

Growing Apples is alot like chasing the wind .. either it happens or not..
we have blossoms on all the trees and they are doing well with all the rain we are getting..

I purchased some red raspberry canes (3 of them came for one price) so hopefully we could get some fruit this year. Well, they are all in pots, and one of them has a green cane shooting out from it already...which is a really good sign.

I am so excited SOMETHING is doing good. :-)
Now, if we could get some of those greenbeans, soybeans, and tomatoes to sprout, we'd be in business. :-)

We've got sprouts!
Green beans & soybeans have sprouted after just 48 hours in their new greenhouse and under the heat lamp!

Just waiting for the hot peppers, tomatoes and flowers.

Congratulations, M. I still haven't gotten my things organized. I made up the plans last fall, but haven't followed through with any of them. I just feel like a slug this year. All of you are dancing circles around me.

We had a beatiful day here yesterday.
I was waiting for my mom to stop by, so I decided to transplant the zuchinni, soy & green beans from the little pods to bigger pots. They were getting way too big for the small greenhouse.

I also transplanted some of the roma tomatoe pods into a bigger pot so they can grow more. They are for my home-made topsy-turvey.

I was able to find cloth for the home made topsy turvey for $1.00/yard. Though I will not need a yard, I figure it will last many years.

I just bought more seeds last week, so I'm looking forward to getting the carrot seeds and more soybean seeds to plant. :-)
