Spring ’13 Veggie Garden update

Here’s my first update on our spring 2013 veggie garden a few of our seedlings started popping up and later I want to show you this awesome little greenhouse I just got from Lowe’s!

Hopefully the next week or two here they will all start sprouting!

Right now I’m totally in love with this new little greenhouse Lindsey and i found at Lowe’s!

Oh yeah! Also, my carrots from last spring were finally ready… Well they were probably ready a while back but I never harvested them since the tops hadn’t started dying. But either way the chickens were scratching around in the planter they were in and it reminded me. They looked huge, when I started digging and here’s what i got!

I cannot wait to cook with them! It’s so nice to pick things right out or your garden for dinner, I’m really hoping my garden this year produces a ton more then last year!! We shall see.

What are you planting this spring? Have you started your seeds yet? (I know it’s a bit early for most of the country) Do you start yours inside or out? In pots or straight into the ground ?

Spring 2013 veggie garden

Finally back to my garden! Today I started my spring seeds.

The other day I found seed trays and small plastic starter pots at Dollar Tree (I love that place), I already had lots of seeds, and a bag of organic soil; so I decided to start planting my spring seeds!

I went through my seeds a picked out what I wanted to plant, probably way too much stuff but since I start my seeds in trays outside they don’t always take.

I planted 20 pots and 2-16 hole trays.

So far I planted:

2 kinds of tomato
Tomatillo
Cucumber
Basil blend
Large basil
2 kinds of pumpkins
Yellow squash
Green summer squash
Lots of lettuce (for me and the hens)
Cantaloupe
Watermelon
Quinoa
Cilantro
2 kinds of Corn
Broccoli
Carrot
Cabbage

I would love to hear what you are planting this spring! If you start from seed or seedling? How you start your seeds? How you prep your garden beds?

Sprouting seeds

For Christmas my awesome Mother got me a sprouting set to try. She got the 5 variety sampler from Sprout People
(This is in no way a sponsored post)

I have started with the amber waves of grain. (I love the name)

After a week with regular rinsing here they are:

Have you tried sprouts yet? Which ones are your favorite? I would love to see!

PLEASE NOTE, this is all my personal opinion, ‘Sprout People’ is not compensating me nor do they even know who I am. This is NOT a sponsored post.
