What a Difference a Week Makes!



As I said last week usually in mid February The Dollar Tree
store gets packets of various flower and vegetable seeds, bags of
various soil, all kinds of saucers--and I go crazy!!! Heck, the packets
are 4 for a dollar or big $2.99 boxes for a dollar so I bought an
assortment but---stupid me---the first batch I planted I threw out the
covers so I have no idea what will pop up. The seeds I planted last
Sunday consisted of marigolds, beets and turnips and within 2 days they
were sprouting amazing
.
Here are the pictures
including those I took today--the 'nameless' plants are in the rear
boxes. I suppose I should 'thin' out the turnips--the middle front
pot--but then I am planning a turnip and beet party!!



I love watching plants growing and I will keep you up to date!

Amazing how fast they're growing! The unmarked ones will be a nice surprise.

I didn't know you could start root vegetables indoors. Not that I plan to grow any... My radishes were huge and hollow, and carrots were all tops. I'm supposed to get a load of dried cow #### later in the month from a guy in the Fellowship who my finally be reliable (a year sober this time around). Have to wait and see... it's a slow cold start to spring, tho, so who knows...

I'm not expecting much from the turnips and beets--especially since I am not thinning them out as I should--maybe I will get ONE HUGE TURNIP AND BEET!
