IT'S GARDENING TIME !

I had to go to St Lukes after work today to be fitted for the sling I will be wearing for 6 weeks come Monday. It dawned on me
(after putting the HUGE THING ON,) that I will not be able to do much. So when I got home, I cooked Tony dinner and we watched an episode of NCIS as we ate. Afterwards, Tony went back outside to finish putting the compost on the garden. I cleaned up the kitchen and then got my garden starts planted.

I saw this on PINTEREST. I cut toilet paper rolls in half and put in some potting soil and then my seeds. I filled them up with more soil and then watered them and set them in a sunny window. We'll see how they do. Once they start and get big enough, I'm suppose to be able to plant the whole thing in the garden because the roll will decompose.

I stepped out to place the bucket of potting soil on the back patio and took a picture of my man, hard at work, tilling the compost into the garden!!

Tony may have to plant the early stuff himself unless we are able to get it in Saturday morning. We have to go to one of the families he home teaches on Saturday and dig up her garden spot. Good thing is, it's very small.

I labeled my starts. (All but the flowers) I have cherry tomatoes as well as regular beef tomatoes. I have onions, beets, cilantro and basil. I figured the peas, beans and carrots, chard and whatever else we decide to grow can be put in directly!
After all, I'm not sure this is gonna work!!

That will be interesting to see if the toilet paper rolls idea works. I once bought some cups that you burry in the dirt when they're ready....and I haven't used them yet, lol.
