while we've been hoping for warm weather and some grass in the yard (it's still snowy) - tilly asked if we could grow some plants - veggies - have a little garden. well - honestly - i have killed every plant or flower i have ever bought (I have two hanging on for dear life in the house right now). But - let's try anyways!
so we bought some seeds and we have them in baggies on the windows. and you know what - we've got some sprouts!
[this is good] I am glad to hear Tilly wants to grow some veggies. Why the window? The next step for the cukes is to plant in some potting etc soil and put in a sunny location-they are not frost hardy. Eventually they need to be transplanted outdoors and they may produce. They take a lot of space or you can train them to grow on trellis. The carrots can not be transplanted,. Try eating the sprouts. Good luck. Gardening requires failure,not giving up,trying different plants, and a great deal of luck. Rich
