Thumb that’s Green

OK so for the first time I’ve successfully started my garden in a starter box. (I did it one other time, but started wayyy to soon and they all died before the ground was frost free).

PlastictrayThis time I asked my Facebook Friends for advice. The most useful was from Katie “read the package” as some seeds say to directly sow in the ground (like carrots), others are fine in the starter boxes (like corn). DUH kind of advice, but I totally wouldn’t have thought of it on my own! (I’m so glad I have smart friends) So I read the packages of seeds Sage and I had picked out in late March (out of excitement), there were several we could use.

Brie checking out her new to us crabby sandbox

Checked off the list: raking the front and side yard (back yard is started), clean off the slide/play gym for the kiddos, planting garden seeds in the starter kit, put some bulbs in the ground, spread the last bag of rock around the tree in the front yard, de-poopify the sidewalk in the back (our dog stops short of where the grass would be in the winter snow), wash the front window’s exterior, put out the yard ornaments and start planning the new planting bed I want to put in the front yard this year.
