A Visit at Last

OK - I admit it. Given all the renovations at home, I neglected to visit the garden for over two weeks. Today when I finally arrived, I found four large fatty rabbits on my lot. Dinner anyone?

At least now I know that I have my work cut out for me for the weekend. Nonetheless, the garden did keep going and growing even without me. I found a baby green pepper on the pepper plant. The tomato plants doubled in size. The Lilly is almost in bloom.

Warmer Weather Excitement

I thought the warmer weather would never come given the winter we just had in New England. Now that it's here, I'm excited to get everything started. I ordered the cucumber seeds (2 varieties) and now patiently await their arrival. My favorite seed brand is Botanical Interests and they are well worth the wait. In the meantime, I found some Burpee seeds from 2012 and put them on a wet paper towel to test germination. Could these still work? No large loss if they don't.

Also, on a side note, I started some Kale seeds and Jalapeno seeds from last year.
