    Starting seeds…

    So far we’ve planted:

    I plan on starting some more seeds but ran out of little recycled containers and my helper ran out of patience. 🙂

    All of these seeds are ones I’ve collected from last years plants. It should be interesting to see what actually germinates.

    Harvest time

    Once again, I ate the first of them before even thinking of taking a photo.

    I love my little container garden. It’s so awesome to just step outside to collect fresh herbs for my recipes.

    Next year I hope to have a small garden next to our shed. Then I can try growing new veggies.

    My container garden


    These are a few of my herb plants.

    They were started in yogurt cups on my grow cart in the late spring.

    As were these yellow pear shaped tomatoes from saved seeds from last season.


    I also saved marigold seeds about 6 years ago…who knew they’d still grow!

    I have more flowers in pots and in the ground here and there but these I am most proud of since I propagated them myself.
