Plants, Plants...Everywhere!

I love this time of year here in Pennsylvania. The air smells so sweet with the trees and the lilac bushes blooming. Even the smell of wild onions brings pleasure to me.

We always plant two vegetable gardens and have an herb garden. Years ago I grew all of my own vegetables, herbs and flowers from seed. I had heat tapes and cold frames. Now I only start around a dozen flats. It is a challenge keeping them warm and providing light. Some days are good to set the flat out, but must still be brought inside in the evenings.

Today is only 51 degrees. So, my plants are inside with me. Here are a few shots for you to see. Many have been transplanted twice already and are doing fine. We will not plant until around Memorial weekend.

Did I say that I love this time of year? LOL!!!

For some reason 2 of my pics are not showing up and my last paragraph. Oh well. I started dahlias, hollyhocks, zinnias, eggplant, cucumbers, red peppers, yellow peppers, zukes, spaghetti squash, basil, rosemary glads, and marigolds. Probably others, but that gives you an idea.

I don't know anything about gardening; I have a lot of admiration for anyone who can manage to get anything to grow!

There's nothing better than brining in something fresh from your own garden. then the kids were little and I had a large lot I planted a very large vegetable garden each year. I just have flower beds now but am tempted to do veggies again.

They look like they are doing pretty good. I love fresh veggies in the summer. There is nothing like picking a nice ripe tomato, wiping it off and eatting it in the sun.
