plus or minus a few amenities (and gardening tools). the seeds we sowed for our garden several weeks ago have sprouted, grown and once again taken over a good share of the living room floor each night & morning... this is the time when during the day they are in the attic, under a light set up that gives them adequate rays to grow and due to the early spring cold at night, they get brought down into the warm air of the living room until we bring them up again the next morning... so this is the time, while we're amidst these 40º overnight temps, that mornings find us somewhere between the coffee table and craft baskets doing lots of lots of watering, observing and anticipating (ie: how will all eight of the heirloom tomato varieties fair and where will we put them all??). giving us a scene so similar to the same time, same place as last year.
oooh look, that's the savoy cabbage. a first for our garden this year... umm, yeah, for real, we need to make a bit of a garden plan and think about where everything will end up... because on top of these thriving indoor seedlings, there are still plenty more seed packs waiting for their time to be sowed directly outside in their garden beds! perhaps it is time to re-read this one?
ahhh, no question that the gardening season is here and underway, even if we're not fully getting out there yet, there is plenty happening in here. and hey—with all this talk of gardening here (and everywhere it seams)—if you have an interest in the revival of the victory garden's popularity, or if you just have a love for all things vintage, you may want to check out this informational movie i came across. i felt like i was transported to 1943 for a bit — loving the simple times, the knitted sweater, and huge backyard plot (however not so loving the pest control method)... here's to gardening and it's sweet beginnings!
