Seed time Baby

I have been wanting to get some seeds going. Pretty much after the first of the year I get spring fever. I got some herb seeds and wanted to get them growin'  I went to the store this morning and got some potting soil then planted the seeds.

 Then I added some azomite mixed it in then added the seeds. Then lightly covered the seeds.

Next I took some Popsicle sticks and wrote the names of the seeds on them.

I added the sticks to the pots and lightly watered them and put them in the garden window.

I think I need to go through all the seeds and see what I already have and what I need.

These are seeds from my garden that I collected.

My seeds put away. Oh what a beautiful sight :) All that seedy goodness!!!

Planting peppers :)

Oh what a happy day. It's time to start my peppers. I wanted to really try my hand at starting more of my vegtable plants. A few weeks ago I started some broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage. Some of the broccoli came up, they were started with older seeds. Then I went and got some new seeds and put them in place of the ones that didn't sprout. Some of the cauliflower sprouted, but not all. On the cabbage, they all sprouted and all were with the new seeds. So on the ones that never did sprout I will go ahead and buy plants when it is time.

The past few years I have grown a few green peppers. Last year I had more of them and not wanting to waste I sliced them up, put them in zip lock bags and put them in the freezer. I had enough of them to keep me going until around Christmas time. So this year I am starting lots. I love having them, I find I do use them in lots of my recipes. Like salsa ,chicken spagetti , enchiladas and lots more. So this year I am going a little pepper crazy and starting a bunch.

So here are the totals

Burpee-sweet pepper -big dipper-12

Burpee-sweet pepper-california wonder -12

Burpee-jalapeno m-6

Burpee-hot-pepper-peppernocini greek-6

Back yard pic's

Here are a few pic's I took of my backyard. We had to replace the sprinkling system 3 years ago, and most of the plants are on their 2 ed year this year. I wanted to try taking some pictures a bit before sundown. I wish I had taken them a little sooner, but I am lovin' the light.

Have a happy week :)
