Starting Seeds

I'm trying a garden again this year. The last time I tried, the soil was so poor that everything died before becoming anything. This year we'll be adding stuff to the soil first, so hopefully everything will grow.

We started this week by planting seeds. We planted zucchini, yellow squash, spaghetti squash and peppers. I'll be buying tomato plants, and everything else can be started from seed directly in the garden.

I'm also trying to start some flowers from seeds. We normally plant flowers in the front of the house. We didn't last year and weeds overtook the flower beds. So I've got a bit of digging to do before planting. But I am hoping to save some money by starting the flowers from seed. We planted impatiens, zinnias and alyssum.

I had some helpers for this part of the project. We'll see if they stick around when it comes time to weed the garden!
