It may still be a bit chilly outside, but things are warm and sprouting inside! I've started about 140 plants inside, but we have about 5 weeks before most things can safely go in the ground around here! Every year when I start seeds indoors it makes me smile when I see all the different things sprout and start to grow...it gives you the extra encouragement to know that warm weather is ahead!
My little girl and I picked out a bunch of berry plants that I hope we can plant in a month or so. We're very excited that we have 5 varieties of blueberries, both black and red raspberries, thornless blackberries, white and purple grapes, and 3 types of strawberries...mmmmmm.
I mostly enjoy growing things that we can eat, but I do like to have a couple of flowers as well! Lavatera are one of my favorites because they're a compact plant with tons of beautiful pink blooms. I started a full flat of them from the seeds of last years flowers (Thanks Dianne...my wonderful neighbor from Ohio who not only showed me how to do it, but saved the seeds for me!)
And here...yes I know it's a little hick:)...are my potatoes...well the first batch. I like to start some potatoes early inside in grow bags so that by the 4th of July we have fresh spuds! The rest of the potatoes will be planted outside...but those first ones are sure great!
This is my daughter helping me get potatoes out of our raised boxes last summer...she was loving hunting for them! Hopefully we'll have as much fun this year too!
