Spring Planting

Every year around June and July I always see such beautiful gardens on display in magazines, in blogs, and in random pictures around town. I alway think of how wonderful it would be to have a garden of my own. Unfortunately for me, when I see those things and am inspired to start one, it is too late in the year.

This year I decided to fix that problem, and so in February I bought myself some seeds at Wal-mart, and a Greenhouse.

This particular green house only cost me about 6 dollars, and it comes with 75 little plots for plants.

I ended up buying four types of seeds for it, Alyssum, Assorted bachelor buttons, Blue bachelor Buttons, and Forget Me Nots.

4 Days after Planting:

My Plants are starting to Sprout! This is very exciting!

I am still keeping the lid on my greenhouse, but as you can see, their little sprouts are starting to poke up out of the dirt!

My Allysum still have not sprouted, these are just the Benjamin Buttons sprouting up.

2 Weeks and 4 Days

I am in love with how my plants are looking right now! Unfortunately, some of them started to lean and almost lay flat against the dirt. To remedy that, I stuck toothpicks and used sewing thread to put them in an upright manner. Hopefully this will work out.

All the plants seem to be doing well, except for the Alyssum, a couple have already died on me. Hopefully I can get a couple of them to grow well though.
