It's alive! IT'S ALIVE!



A week later and my spinach is sprouting and my "micro tom" cherry tomato plant is filling out nicely with blooms.



I nearly missed the sprout, but I discovered it while picking pine needles out of my potting soil.



As my other plants do interesting things, I will do my best to report it.

How does my garden grow?



I suppose we'll find out together.

I've planted alpine strawberries, aka shiso, kale, Chinese mustard greens, lavender, two kinds of cherry tomatoes, spinach and poppies (just for fun). Sky Nursery was a very fun place to shop for plants.

The Boyfriend suggests we get a little table to add height to the plants and get them more sun. I agree, but this is all right for right now.

This is my first garden (technically I had another one as a child, but I basically put seeds in the ground and forgot about them), so I'm excited to see how everything turns out.
