Gardening In March

Well, you know how I finally got all my seeds planted and were starting...

Well some LOVELY creature, I'm sure, went into my garden area and destroyed all those that I was trying to germinate...so back to the drawing board. I might have to buy more seeds even. ARGH!!!

Note to Self: Try your best to save money for a green house!

Okay my tomato seeds are doing well. I have little seedlings that are about 1 -2 inches tall. How exciting! As you can see they are leaning. They were facing the window so I turned them around now so that they will stand back up straight. They're looking for sunlight. Here is what they look like:

I have now started my tomato seeds. I pray that they will work. They are inside my house, actually on my counter in the kitchen. I'm hoping they will germinate soon so I can see all my little tomato plants. 

I've also started some lettuce and spinach inside. I'm waiting for them all to germinate then I will be placing them outside.

Sunny weather is in store for us this week so sounds like a good week to garden.  Hope you all have sunny weather and put out some great cool weather plants. Plants good to plant now are:

Broccoli

Cauliflower

Cabbage

Beets

Spinach

Sweet Peas

Carrots (depending on your zone)

and any other cool weather plants you can think of. :)

Don't forget though to start your tomato seeds!

If you recall my last post for Gardening in March I posted these five things to do:

* Get a sandy garden bed ready to plant carrots, beets, radishes etc....

* Start more broccoli, red cabbage, green cabbage, cauliflower, along with swiss chard, leaf lettuce, beets, carrots, radishes, and spinach. Completed  3/12/2011

* Transplant my asparagus plants to another location. Completed 3/12/2011 (Looks promising for some fresh asparagus this year!)

* Build a tall planting bed for an elderly lady Completed 3/12/2011 (Thanks to my husband for completing this one. He used the big buckets leftover from the cows mineral licks. Pretty smart husband! I'm not partial. Ha Ha!)

* Plant Potatoes from Seed Savers Exchange
