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!

It sounds like some of my efforts to do seeds. I found it was better to do starts. I have 1 tomatoe plant this year and that's it.
The Beth Moore blog looks interesting. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I'm about to go over to Xanga to find out the status of baby. See you there.
I replied to your comment on my blog but I'm not sure if you get those. Still learning how to use this place.
