When spring time finally rolls around I just love getting out my seed box.
It is usually a huge mess with old, empty seed packages.
I spread them all out on the table so I can get a good idea of what I have.
Then I plan my garden for the year, and make a list of all the veggies and flowers I am going to need seeds for.
Whatever I don’t already have I order.
I usually try something new each year, it is exciting.
(I know dull life!)
Once the order is placed I can hardly wait to get my package in the mail.

Thursday my seeds came, and on that very day my oldest and I planted a few squares of lettuce, spinach and cabbage. In two more weeks we will do some more of the same, along with some potatoes, carrots, beets, turnips and some others. and in 6 weeks all the tender, summer veggies will go out.
What is planted (or will be) in your gardens this year?
this gets my fingers itching.
I can’t see any of your pictures because randomly my work computer is blocking blog pictures… LOL But it sounds like your having some fun!
I won’t be doing any planting this year 🙁 I’m renting, plus I’ll probably by moving the end of June *sniff sniff*
i’m not sure yet, in the next couple of weeks we have to pick up lumber and soil for raised beds…we tried planting directly in the ground last year, and with the space we have, i think the raised beds will work a little better…we still have threats of snow up to the end of march, so we wait to plant until then…i do need to get my seeds around and get them started, which i think i will be doing inside in old egg cartons..
I think a lot of people are getting the gardening ‘bug’ this year. Your garden plan sounds great so far!
I’m hoping to make a wildflower/ bulb garden and maybe a lavender one in our 2 current raised beds. As for veggies–not sure yet. Depends on if we make more raised beds or use containers. Some tomatoes for sure no matter what!
I’m so excited for you! I wish I could garden but have not a clue how to do it. I drowned the first garden I attempted to grow a few years ago and never tried again. But, I think it would be wonderful to grow God’s bounty right here in my backyard. Enjoy all the delicious fruits and veggies your little seeds will grow!
I can only plant things outside that I want the deer, geese, or skunks to eat. I am thinking of trying some indoor things this year (I have a room with a lot of sun with huge planter boxes in it)
im really learning alot about gardening the last few seasons. I had tomatoes last year, romain lettuce and pea pods. Im going to try to add new ones this year.
What fun!
I will be planting nothing because we are moving in the middle of summer. I’ll have to enjoy other people’s gardens.
Hooray for you! Our spring/summer garden is in full swing now, but if you’ve been reading me, you already know that. P.S. I’m canning potatoes today-I was totally inspired by you! I’ll post about it in a couple of days.
gardens, gardens, gardens…I have a very loose plan in mind. I know what I’m going to do, for the most part, but it’s not planned on paper at all. I’m rather fly by the seat of my pants, er, dress hem :o)
I tried to comment to your comment about purity in language…and couldn’t for whatever reason. My own blog has issues with me this morning it seems :o)
Here’s what I tried to share…do feel free to delete it here if you want :o)
Hi Aimee….
The Family Home Pan is actually a collection of the ideas and ‘rules’ if you want to call them that, of Susannah Wesley.
Purity in language…well, as you can see by my writing ‘style’ (and boy do I use that term loosely!) I don’t practice what I list :o(
In a nutshell though, slang is a product of the world, not of Christ. You don’t see (in my Bible anyway, I’m sure you could find one…) where God was walking through The Garden yelling, Yo, Adam my man, bring the wife and lets have a chat…
Slang terms are completely worldly, and the Scriptures clearly teach that while we are living in this world, we as Christians are to be separated from the world. If it walks and talks like the world, it’s the world. Once my children start talking like that, it tends to continue growing, like a weed. One little slang term becomes two, then more….pretty soon I have a house full of children using short terms and slang and no one speaks plain, clear English anymore. It makes us sound as though we are a homeschool family without a bit of true education.
Sadly, someone listening in on most of my conversations, with the short terms and slang terms I use all too naturally, wouldn’t recognize me for Christian :o( Sometimes your appearance and a few words is as close as someone gets to you. They need to be edifying, they need to be true, they need to be pure.
Now, we aren’t exactly sitting around here calling each other ‘dawg’ or whatever :o) But we aren’t pure in our speech. I need to seriously work on that. Well, I need to seriously allow God to do His Work on that!
