like i said, we picked out a salsa seed kit from home deopt. we also got 2 bags of potting soil, some biodegradable starter planter thingies and 2 planters.
the "salsa veriety pack" included: roma tomatoes, green onions, cilantro and jalapenos.
these jiffy pots seemed pretty awesome, but we didnt end up using them. maybe on our next gardening adventure.
i did two rows of jalapenos and a row of green onions in one planter and 2 rows of tomatoes and a row of cilantro in the other. this is our first time ever doing something like this so i hope it works out. i am thinking that i will have to do some transplanting, but thats ok.
we are going to start them indoors and then move them outside when it gets a little bit warmer, but for now their home is in the kitchen window where we can keep a close eye on them and watch them grow.
i even made these cute little tags so we remember what is where.
about two weeks ago we were at wal-mart and i found these little starter basil kits for $5. i couldnt pass them up, so i got two. i followed all the directions (except for when it said to plant only five seeds, i dumped about 45 in there) and then 4-5 days later i had little sprouts!
it even came with this super cute little planter and a puck of dirt. ive never seen anything like the dirt puck before.
its groooowing!!!
i havent had the best luck with plants. i either over water or under water them, but people keep telling me that veggies and herbs are a lot easier to grow, so i am giving it my best shot. we shall see...
