Starting My Garden

Spring is coming... no matter what the weather is doing.. my little garden has signs of spring.. little shoots poking through the dirt in search of sunshine. So I decided to get started in the house too.  I  started with some flowers that hopefully will be filling the hanging planters in a few months and filling the yard with color.


Using egg shells here... dirt is a mix of potting soil and coffee grounds and egg shells.




Toilet paper tubes... just like the egg shells I can plant these directly into the planter boxes once they are ready to move outside. 


 Here are the seeds.... collected over the years from flowers I love.


Now I mist with water twice a day and watch so closely for any tiny signs of life.  This week I will be planting some herbs.. thinking I may get them already started though.. I am not very patient and want them now :)
