    This is everything I have started so far. Lettuce, broccoli, kale, onions, spinach, a lot of different herbs, and overgrown kitchen produce - ginger, garlic and sweet potatoes.

    BEAUTIFUL!

    You are a garden goddess indeed!

    I found with great delight that our local library has a seed library! They converted the old card catalog drawers into the seed bank. We can have 20 packets at a time! Many of them are from Baker Creek I did notice. Going shopping next week for seedling soil and little pots for seedlings.

    Landlord has promised to build out a garden plot for us! With fencing, topsoil and advice! I am jazzed to say the least...

    That's very exciting! I am so happy you will be getting more space to grow :D

    It just takes practice, you can do it:). If you ever need any advice, I am happy to help. Remember, the plants want to grow and will usually do whatever they can to stay alive. Start with good soil and most of the time you won't have to do much. Of course, it also depends on your climate, where I live, after they are established, I rarely have to worry about watering my plants when they are outside.

    Here we are blessed with a spring that runs year round, supplying water to five houses for 45 years so far (and maybe longer, history is murky). It does got hot and dry in summer, so I will start container gardening on the deck earlier. That is something I've done a lot of, so I will be getting seeds popping within a month indoors. I am setting up a table for the starts, with some fluorescent lighting and a seedling warmer mat underneath. It does get quite cold at night around here still... sometimes dropping into the low 20s.

    Many bulb plants, and some stray chamomile from last years seeds that dropped.

    Last years german chamomile in second photo.

    Just had first of the strawberries. Fucking outstanding flavour.
    For the first year in a while everything is going fine especially the carrots which were a disaster last year.

    So nice to enjoy fresh goods from garden. We have radishes, lettuce, and spinach. Had snow peas in the pass but skipped them this year. Hope all keeps going well. We got hit by hail last year very depressing. But love my time in garden.
