I planted flowers and vegetables from seeds for the first time ever. Unfortunately,being the rookie that I am, I didnt label the seeds once they were planted! I had gone to Lowes,and bought seeds,and little peat pod containers. I labeled one container vegetables,the other container flowers. I potted some pole beans,spinach,and cauliflower. I also planted some zinias. I think i ran out of the flower seeds,or might've wanted to plant more beans,and might've put the beans in the flower container.....The flowers/veggies survived my ineptness! Everything is green,leaves,they are aproximately 4 inches tall. The majority of leafs look the same,however I think 2 of the plants are pole beans. The flowers I put into the ground in front of the house,the questionable beans I placed in a space on the side of my house. I'm gonna play the waiting game,and see how they turn out. I have learned a lesson! I planted sunflower seeds that are Martha Stewart brand. The seeds are several years old,and havent sprouted. I had kept the seeds in the original pack, in the basement. I read somewhere that its better to put seeds that are going to be stored in a glass jar,with a lid,in a cool spot. Gardening, like my walk with the Lord is an adventure!

Welcome!

I just wanted to welcome my friend Foxtales to a new blogging world! I had to go back and edit. First I typed Foxtails, that didnt seem right. Then I tried Foxtals, and had to go check my blog list to see how to type it. Duhhhhh to me. Welcome Linda!
