2021 Garden!

 We have started a garden for this year!  Over "the winter!" I was thinking of maybe not trying again, but then, well, we HAVE to have a garden!

Probably the reason I started thinking about a garden again is that Annie gave me the tomato seedlings she had grown from a tomato's seeds. (She put them on a damp paper towel, covered with another damp paper towel, then waited for them to germinate.) The same day she showed me how she takes the bottoms of vegetables and puts them in water. It makes a salad garden.


Here is my first attempt at growing a salad garden inside from previously "used" salad greens.  On the weekend I tore off the leaves from this romaine plant and ate them.  Next thing I did was put the stub of the romaine into a glass of water.  Now, only a few days later here is the progress in raising an indoor salad garden.  I am really pleased.



Here are the lettuce seeds  poking up through "soil" in these little pellets.  I am hoping they will turn into some really good plants that will work well in the in-grown garden.  Dear One asked for leaf lettuce in the garden.  This year we will have only a very few vegetables.  We ARE looking for some rhubarb plants but no luck so far.
