Here are the herbs that I have started. They are in plastic cups as I had a major mishap with the newspaper pots going moldy. These are currently occupying a large section of my porch, which I'm sure my mailcarrier loves... I can't wait till they get big enough to transplant and I can give away the extras.
I swear I only sowed two marjoram seeds per cup. I have no idea why there are so many seedlings! Some careful division will be needed. Luckily I have a friend who loves marjoram, it's the secret ingredient in her Thanksgiving stuffing.
My super sophisticated labeling system for seed starting.
Plastic bottle cloches serve two purposes here. They provide some extra humidity and warmth for the little seedlings. Even more importantly they protect them from the squirrels who just LOVE to dig in my containers.
Columbine as well as some NOID volunteer seedlings. Only time will tell.
Some new tomato seedlings just popped up today!
I can't wait to see these dahlias in bloom. They are one of my favorite flowers and I am planning to dig up the tubers in the fall and storing them for next year. I did grow them last year but did not know you could save them. These are the watercolor silk variety from Renee's Garden.
Some Italian parsley peeking out of the soil. Did not have great luck growing this last year, hopefully better seeds (Renee's Garden as opposed to Burpee) and better gardening knowledge will lead to better parsley! Made the plant tags out of the pieces of blinds that my cat snapped off to make a viewing window.
The one herb I was most proud of last summer was my chives. They just did not stop! I had fresh chives in everything, I would just nip outside and trim them down. I never let them flower however, this year I am planning on allowing the to flower before cutting them all the way down.
These mini sunflowers are going to be adorable. Need to find more bottles for cloches to protect them from the squirrels, they really like these seedlings and I lost a whole pot full.
Cucumbers! I will thin them to one plant when they get bigger. I can't wait to harvest these, cucumbers are one of my favorite veggies.
