growing a garden

The garden is finally in! After months of taking care of the little seedlets in the basement then moving them outside to get them heartier we finally planted them in the grow box! Mike never ceases to amaze me with the little hidden talents that he has. We went back and forth about what kind of grow box we should have, I of course wanted the hardest, most expensive kind and he (as always) was the practical one. We ended up going with his decision with the caveat that we could always make it more glamourous in the coming years if this was something we were successful at. But Mike just whipped out this ability to build a grow box... just like that. He just picked out the wood, came home and bam- GROW BOX in like 1/2 an hour flat... shocking talent :-) I love me some handyman-ness. The successful part is the big question mark at this point because once we planted all my little green babies outside they suddenly looked like the tiniest plants anyone ever put in a garden... So who knows if they will really grow/thrive/produce vegetables... maybe next year we will go with already established plants... maybe we will decide that the farmer's market is cheaper and easier... who knows but at least we gave it a go right? Here's hoping for some awesome peppers and onions so that I can truly call it a SALSA GARDEN.

The sad plot
