Adventures Of Life!

I,  like many of you, are so ready to get my garden started outside. This weather is hindering me a little bit plus I am waiting on my soil results before I plant a thing. Calling on that tomorrow! So in the meantime, I have been busy preparing the crops to plant. Potatoes for instance, they came in the mail in paper bags and I laid out newspaper, cut potatoes as instructed and laid them out on the newspaper for up to 4 days to scab over to put into the ground. Checked on the other seeds I planted this past weekend and I already have some showing signs of growing! My laundry room is starting to look a lot like a greenhouse. :) Weather is changing once again......looks like we are to expect some moisture tonight and tomorrow. Hang in folks we are gonna see spring despite the weather....do hope the trees and flowers don't suffer to much. Copyright © 2014 M.E. Masterson All Photographs Copyright © 2014 M.E. Masterson

These are mostly squash(variety) and melons(variety) and they are doing well so far. They are a little slow in growing but I think that has to do with warmth. I put the peat pots in a tray(aluminum tray for large meals) and I think it is a little cold but they are growing despite my inadequate tray. Gotta do what I gotta do! :) Yes that is an ol laundry basket...came in handy! Next, transplanting the tomatoes into peat pots.....I hope I am successful! xxx my fingers! Something I learned the other day thanks to my FIL, if you go by your local County Extension Office they will provide you with all kinds of information on your growing se...
