Jenni starts a garden!

I have a friend who gardens and it got me interested, and I started saying stuff around the house like, "maybe I should try this!" The problem is, I don't historically have the best of luck with gardening!

So the Easter bunny brought me a very Jenni-size garden in my basket:



I planted them, not really thinking I'd have much luck since I never get seeds to grow, but much to my surprise. . .



I can already see my first gardening mistake, which was to plant all the seeds instead of the "2-3" they recommended. I figured, with my lack-of-success rate, I should plant them all and maybe I'd get one or two. What I ended up with are eight! The half dozen you see in the picture, plus two more that came up a bit later. Now I'm worried I won't be able to spread them out as they are too close together! I've got to tackle the transplanting tonight. . .

Meanwhile, inspired by my success, what was going to be "just a little joke of a garden" has turned into plans for an actual real garden!



Bigger tomatoes, peas, and proper soil to start them in! I also managed to find some of those planting pots that you can put right in the ground at a discount store, so I'm going to give those a go. My next challenge is going to be building a raised garden somewhere in my backyard to transfer these guys to!

I want to babble on endlessly about my gardening adventures (or misadventures, as they may well turn out to be!) but didn't want to make my non-gardening sewing buddies sit through it, so, a new blog is born. . .
