My Little Forest of Success

Here are my first ever from seed tomato starts. I have started them from seed right into the garden before, but they are usually too late to actually produce more than a few fruits before the frost hits. So I started some from seed indoors this year to see if I could get a small jump on the season... and it worked! I am not sure why I am finding such thrill in this success... but I am loving watching them pop through the soil. In the neighboring egg carton I planted peppers (which I haven't done from seed before) and pumpkins, which I always do from seed, but I have to plant them at my dads because of lack of space, so I wanted to start them here and get them good and established before I planted them there outdoors. Anyway... gardening is doing good. I have transplanted a bunch of stuff into the garden and am doing more trellised cucumbers and squash. My peas and radishes are popping up all over their shared bed... there are lettuce starts everywhere.

Another garden success this year! My currents are blooming and the reds are already fruiting a bit (early Junes). :) This is really exciting because last year we only got about a cup of fruit. This year I am expecting quite a bit more. YAY!

And what do garden babies do while mama is working?

Nap in the yard anyone?
