Back to the Windowsill...

So I decided to start more seeds inside...so more basil, cilantro too come. But I also added Mint, Chives and Sage and started red-leaf lettuce. I need to get the squash into the ground but I've been very hesitant, I think I need some sort of coverings to keep the birds away...

Seeding sown....

Well we finally got to sow some seeds the other day. I've started all the vegetables in egg cartons in the southern window - because I figure it'll be easier for me NOT to forget to water them constantly. The herbs I did directly in the large pot in front of the house - might forget them there but its part-shade so not too much overheating I hope.

The compost pile is getting lots of good vegetables and fruit scraps, which if I don't turn the pile I'll probably start growing watermelons, mangos, avocados, kiwi and strawberries galor:) I still need to get to Gardenville and get worms!

I'm excited to see the new local Farmer's Market and hoping to meet some really nice people in town this weekend !!

The Chosen Few...

Alessandra and I took a trip to Mulberger's today and boy did she like it. I think she thought it was the park :) So we picked out the few items that we'll start from seeds, organic tomatoes, micro greens, coriander, basil and zucchini - just the basics that I would buy weekly. I was very tempted by the beautiful fig and lime trees but I think I need to run that by Paul first.

btw, this weekend also started our compost pile :) Need to get cinder blocks and chicken wire to give it a more permanent structure...and worms :)
