It sounds like everyone had fun. I think dh is going to till ours tomorrow. Last year he didn't want a garden and this year he seems excited about it. We did have a small garden last year because I had my brother in law bring up his tiller, dh wasn't to thrilled. I think my big juicy tomatoes got the best of him. Ha! Ha! I can't wait.

My boys and I started some seeds yesterday

I planted
tomato
basil
marjoram
dill
chives
tons of parsley (for my guinea pigs)
oregano
marigolds
dianthus
zinnia

Lucas planted Bluebonnets
Tommy started watermelon & sunflowers

Not many veggies, but with my new work schedule I'm probably gonna forget to water them anyways

Wasn't it great!?!?!? I planted peas on Sunday and tilled the beds to get ready. I have to wait another month & a half to get the rest into the ground

Wow it seems really early to put seedlings out in Canada! We haven't put much out and we're in Arkansas. Hubby expects one more good frost.

Shhhh! Don't say that! I'm in AR too and I'm planting on Saturday. However, I'm doing containers so I can bring them in if it gets too cold.

**santoria** · 04-09-2008, 01:47 PM

I'm not planting any seeds outside yet. starting them in egg cartons then will move out as soon as the last frost hits...mid Mayish.

but I'm hitting up my parents tree farm for some stuff this weekend....its a perfect time to plant big stuff.

**suki** · 04-09-2008, 01:49 PM

I mis-read what you posted. OKay. Try transferring them to newspaper pots later on.

**santoria** · 04-09-2008, 02:15 PM

lol no problem.....one of the joys of living way up north. lol

I'm using the fibre egg cartons that will disintegrate (yay one less thing in the garbage lol), and then will just put them in the ground when they're big enough or its warm for good...and who knows when that will be...it snowed on mothers day last year

**santoria** · 04-09-2008, 07:21 PM

put the pot mix in and spread it out!

Tomatoes for Victoria

Watermelon for Susanne (what a pose)

Sweet peas for Elizabeth

now to find a home for all these trays!

I had my 24 year old and 21 year old help me. Even the old ones enjoy seeing it come up. The tomatoes and squash are just sprouting.It makes eating the vegtables taste better. I hope that little one didn't eat too much dirt. So Cute.
