Spring is definitely here! One of the first, and possibly my favorite, things that happens in the spring is the lilacs bloom. Yay! Right now they are all over my house. In vases of course. Do I have lilacs in my yard? ......... Well, not exactly. lol But, that's another story for another time.
So, with summer right around the corner, Miss M and I got to work starting seeds.
These are our garden boxes. They were built by my dad! So cool. The two large boxes on the right are what we originally started out with. I wish I had pics to show of the process! But, my dad build them and brought them to us. Somehow, with a crazy 18 month old (Miss M), I dug out a hole and tilled up the ground to put in the second box (my dad did the first). Well, after the first year we realized that those two boxes just weren't going to cut it. So over the next two years we have made deals with my dad and my sister and pawned their boxes off of them! lol
M and I started these little mini greenhouse with our seeds that will eventually be in the garden.
The first greenhouse is basil, chamomile, thyme, dill, rosemary, and lemon balm. The second is watermelon,squash, chives, tomatoes, and sage. In hindsight I probably shouldn't have started the watermelon and squash in there. But they were M's seeds, that she picked out, and she really wanted them in there. They're super big already, so I don't know how I will contain them for the next handful of weeks.
Yes, I did just sit in Paint and make this up....... Anyway, this is our garden layout for this year. The circles are potted plants. I already have lettuce coming up in a pot and my mint is already going crazy. We just got our potatoes, carrots, lettuce, onions, and garlic in the ground. Oh, and my strawberries are up too!
