Bonus Plants

These plants were thrown in the compost heap last fall. One day this spring when I was cleaning up the yard, I saw them growing and decided to salvage and pot them in hanging baskets this year. The mild winter must have helped. What a nice surprise! ;)

Potted Plants


Here are some of the potted plants that I got in the mail. The plants in the water jugs are started from seed. I have most of them planted in our landscape, but after I took this picture, I received more in the mail. I have been trying to get them planted every night of the week along with spreading ten yards of mulch and weeding!  ;)

Seedlings

Well, I have pretty much given up on starting seedlings. It must have been the soil or the weather changes. None of the tomatoes and melons sprouted. The rubarb is being difficult, but the pumpkins are are doing just fine. I will plant the rubarb in a permanent spot this week. The pumpkins will go in bigger pots until the end of May. Hopefully I'll have better luck planting the seeds directly into the ground. I'm planning on getting the garden rototilled this weekend. ;)
