Hello, my name is Andrea

And I have a seed problem.... I can't help it, I love seeds. My indoor planting has been delayed by the availability of organic potting soil - being available when I have the van at my disposal. Finally on Friday I bought an entire bale of it as the bags just never came in. So, I started planting - making my own 'peat pots' out of newspaper (brilliant, Mary Sue!). And then I realized that I didn't have any marigold seeds. And of course, I must have marigolds! So I went to Briteland to get some marigold seeds.... and this is what I came home with. You can see the marigold seeds there, right? Can't you? Honest, they are there....


Here is my first tray of planted seeds - the last of last year's peat pots and this year's newspaper pots....








This is what my kitchen table looked like for the entire week end.




And here is what all my windowsills are starting to look like. That little sprout is a pomegranate seed Rhiannon and I planted at the beginning of Feb... At least I hope it is. It took so long to sprout, I do have my doubts - maybe it is a spore from the soil....

I will actually plant probably 3 whole packages of marigolds. I use them throughout my veggies and then I like them in my flowerbed for their bright, low fuss, long lasting cheerfulness.

We are sprouting seeds everywhere, too...and today we set out some cabbages..it feels so good to do it this time of year.

It is also fun to grow avocado plants from the pits, too.
