Where to find the time!!!

Two tomato plants survived the transplant - I think the birds got the other two! All the squash is doing well. Alessandra helps water now and plays in the mud :)

Inside, the mint was the last to sprout. All are looking well and oh so cute.

I really want to get a thornless lime tree, I saw some the other day - but there was no way this week. We had crankiness almost every morning, so priorities first back to two nap times!

The EcoComposter is here - yeah!! however, it looks like quite a project to put together. I'll take pictures when we are rolling it around the yard :)

Transplanted...now beware THE BIRDS!!

I'm going to chase them around with a broom if they come after my tiny tomato and squash plants!!

I taste tested the microgreens - and boy! are they HOT! Not sure we are going to like them....

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...

Ugh! The Birds!!!

They are eating my seeds!!! The Basil and Cilantro I think have been completely scavenged but some beautiful birds! Several holes in the dirt this morning with the innocent looking birds pecking away all around :( So sad...

I guess I'll try again, I might put chicken wire over for a while until they grow.

New seedlings being started today in the egg carton, red-leaf lettuce, chives and then outside sage and mint. And I'm going to transplant all the squash, tomatoes and microgreens outside.
