~What's Growing on in your garden~

There are moments in one's life where you take small breaks from the extra's you add in to your life.

Greenhouse seed starting

A greenhouse allows me to start growing year round! I do grow alot of things year round already!

 A greenhouse will allow me to extend the season on most things I grow! 

It may even be possible, that I could be eating Tomato's in December or January! 

That gets me really excited!

I have already started seeds in my greenhouse! I wasted no time getting started.

I love using these large flats to start lettuces and greens. Once my lettuces are about 2 inches tall, I transplant out to the big garden.

Here is how I plant in large flats.

I use weed mesh to line the bottom of my flats,so none of my soil falls through the cracks. I reuse the pieces until they start to get holes and can't be used anymore.

I add my seed starting mix to the flat and then moisten the soil before I sow my seeds.

These are the seeds I will be sowing. Some Chard, Lettuce Blend, Arugula, Sweet Greens & Reds along with some Bloomsdale Spinach. 

I sprinkle the seeds in sections, this way I have an idea of what is growing wear.

You can see the different seeds in the soil. I sprinkle a layer of soil across the top of the seeds and spray a mist of water over the top.

 I am trying a new type of growing container this year. Every year I like to see what's new.

I am trying Planters Pride Fiber Grow containers. They are fully Biodegradable which I love! I am always in search of items to use in my Organic garden.

 I will be starting Alpine Strawberries from seed in Fiber Grow Strips. 

I will keep you posted on how they work out! I just added seed started mix and seeds and watered.

The Alpine Strawberry seeds were very tiny. I used tweezers to sow the seeds. I did 5 seeds per pot. 

I have never grown them before. So I figured, I would  sow 5 seeds cross my fingers and hope for the best!

I will keep you updated on the process of starting Strawberries from seed.

I also started some Cilantro. 

Cilantro should sprout pretty quick. I use a ton of cilantro. I will be starting Cilantro every couple weeks. I have noticed that I have a few rouge Cilantro plants popping up in the main garden. 

At least Cilantro seeds are a little bigger, no tweezers required for this seed. I put 4 seeds in each pot. They will go outside as soon as they are a couple feet tall.

My first greenhouse seed sow!

I am so excited! Can you tell!

I will have many more greenhouse shares as time goes by. I am sure it will be alot of trial and error as I get used to the temps in the greenhouse. I hope you are all ready for a fun new journey in the greenhouse!

Do you grow in a greenhouse?

What are some of your tips for starting seeds?

Happy Gardening Friends!!!

A Greenhouse from my Valentine!

Valentines IS a day of LOVE!

I have the best husband in the world! I LOVE THAT MAN!!!

He knows how to make his girl happy!

My first Greenhouse! I am so excited!

I put it smack dab in the middle of my garden! Which means the whole garden gets a face lift.

My first greenhouse project: A path to the greenhouse!

I laid out some weed proof mesh. I took some different size river rock and lined the edges.

Then I added shredded bark into my walkway. My son was a great help with this project.

We then added some stepping stones, just to make it more appealing. My kids made me these for Mother's Day! I love the long one by the door. It looks like a door mat.

Final project!

Lots of work ahead. I can't wait to share my all my adventures! 

Do you have a greenhouse? What's your favorite thing about your greenhouse?

Happy Gardening!!!
