A Start to the Garden

I got a late start on planting our seeds.  But I figured since we still had snow into the middle of April, it would probably be a slow start to when we'd be able to put the plants into the ground.  I only had a refill pack of soil pellets (which I don't really like, but it's what I had) so I planted what I could and then picked up bigger pots and soil.

I forgot to take pictures before I transplanted the plants to bigger pots.  But here they are in the bigger pots.  We also replanted some pepper seeds that didn't grow the first time and more pumpkins, watermelons, and cantaloupe.

Starting Seeds

I bought this greenhouse tray marked down at Meijer last year thinking that we could start some seeds in it this year.

we planted Cubanelle Peppers, pumpkins, and bell peppers. The 2 types of peppers are from peppers that we had bought and the pumpkins are seeds left over from another season. We will get some more types to plant in the other rows.














in the sun to grow!
