Looking great! I cheated and bought broccoli already started so it is neat to see them coming from the seed up!

It has been raining for 4 days here and I think my little buddies are dreaming about being outside.

I have two more spinach that finally decided to poke their heads above ground. Everything is looking great.

I am trying to decide when to move my brocolli to their own pots. I think I am going to do it soon because I want to get my tomatoes started.

reseeded a section of the backyard on Monday.



Planted a bunch of seeds today in pots outside. Then I found out there was a frost warning tonight. Had to cover them up with a storage container. I will have pictures later this week.

Over the last few weeks, I have hired someone to build a fence and a deck on our backyard. This has for some reason hindered my updates. I believe the deck will be finished today or tomorrow. When it is complete I will post an update with pictures.

I know... it's been a month since I posted pictures. Here you go.



Something has been eating my broccoli





Basil, tomatoes, and bush beans are doing nicely.

I think my growth is a little slow, mostly because I have been so busy that I have forgotten to water them. Lickily mother nature has been doing that for me lately.

Oh, your broccoli looks like our aquilegia when the butterfly caterpillars have been at'em. But I think the rest of your plants are looking good.

All looks good, but I am envious of your basil! I was just out this a.m. looking for some plants (to buy) and what I found is not nearly as juicy looking as yours! Mmm mm mmm, that's gonna be good with your 'maters.

I set up my tomatoes in a hydroponic wich system. I figure I will be able to get decent tomatoes even if I forget to water them.

Thank you all for the positive feedback. That is why I love this forum. I believe caterpillars is what ate my broccoli. I have seen them everywhere.

It is amazing how fast the plants grow when they constantly have water. This has only been about a week. Look at the difference between the this picture and last week's picture.
