If you are on Facebook you have probably already read this post. LOL It is basically the same as what I posted on there this morning.
Yesterday, I got my seeds started. I have 4 trays going. In these 4 trays I have planted 72 cabbage, 66 tomato, 48 sweet pepper, 24 cauliflower, 24 broccoli, 24 brussels sprouts, 18 eggplant, 6 hot peppers, and 6 tomatillas. Once these get big enough I will transplant them into bigger pots. I went ahead and turned the light on them to give them some extra heat for quicker germination.
Are you wondering why on earth I would start 72 cabbage plants? Kevin bought this 3 gallon crock for me for my birthday. I hope to make kraut and dill pickles this year. You can also see our Berkey water filter in the background. We love this thing. No regrets on buying it.
I had my sweet little helper right beside me yesterday. See how she is laying? She is taunting me to rub her tummy. If I do, she will attack. LOL
I think we are off to a good start for the 2014 garden. As soon as it is dry enough, we have 50 lbs of Pontiac potatoes, 2 lbs onion sets, garlic bulbs, plus, peas, spinach, lettuce, carrots, beets, etc. to go in it. Yep, going to be a good garden this year. Trusting in the Lord to bless this year's garden.
Blessings,
