Green thumb?

Maybe. Time will tell. A few months ago we posted a picture of the lettuce we planted. It stayed inside for a while, then moved to the sun room. We watered it a couple of times and voila- some small leafy greens! (As well as a few weeds...)


We plan on mixing some fresh greens with our regular salad soon. Yesterday, I potted a few tomato plants for our garden. Since we have to wait until the chance of frost has passed, and around here that is the end of May, we wanted to give our tomatoes a chance to go ahead and get to growing. There are 12 plants here: 4 in individual pots that we plan to truly nurture and the other 8 in the big pot, just in case. The ones on the left are beefsteak and on the right, big boy.


At the bottom of the picture we have a pack of impatiens. The plan is to put them around the front of a somewhat forlorn bed in the front yard. We also have a beautiful pink azalea from the homeowners association that is going to need a home soon. It is such a joy to see things grow!
