NEW GARDEN 2011

so this year i started tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, and oregano from seed.  Basil and dill did not come up :( in jiffy pots.  i accidentally forgot to really "label" the tomatoes....so they are kinda mystery tomatoes.) After about 4 weeks in my bathroom window sill and another week outside to harden off  TODAY i put them all in the ground.  I also direct seeded some green peas in my small vegetable bed from last year.  I put spinach and mixed greens in some pots and they are doing TERRIFIC.  I saw a similar bowl of greens today at Lowes's for 13.99....made me smile to know i did mine with a 1.00 pack of seeds that i had left from last year.  As for the other seedlings i have a new LONG thin bed that i added this year behind the screen of the pool where they went in.   I wish I could figure out how to send pictures straight from my phone to this blog .....ON my to do list.  will ask for help from my teen age techies later :D.  WELL MY GARDEN IS OFF TO A GREAT START!
