I've been busy enjoying my retirements and not physically exerting myself too much. I planted seeds and I wanted to document how they are doing. I always plant more than I need because they are so small until they grow and then I have too many. lol... I do that every year. I didn't plant tomato seeds this year because we were over-run by tomatoes last year... I may buy a few plant varieties from the grower for my own vegetable garden to have some handy.
I had some old Morning Glories seeds that I wanted to see if they were still good and I planted them in the same pot with the ginger roots, along with some other old seeds. The Morning Glory and the carrots grew but nothing else came up. I pulled out the carrots as they were spindly. As you can see the ginger and the Morning Glory are doing very well.
I bought a sweet basil plant at our local nursery to speed up my basil crop
I took cuttings of the basil plant and rooted them in water in a sunny window.
Here they are at different stages of rooting and to my surprise, the tiniest cutting had more roots.
Here they are potted. I planted some Sweet Basil seeds also just because I love pesto so much.
Here is the progress of my Geraniums.
And Bada Boon begonias that are just emerging.
some Impatient seedlings
Gypsy Broccoli sprouts,
These are Brussel sprouts, I also planted cauliflower seeds and some other seeds but no photos yet because my camera battery died.
If you remember last fall, my sewing machine broke and I inquired about getting it fixed. I found a lady who would look at it but she charges $99.00 to have a look at it. To have it repaired she would have to send it away and it would cost more. So I bought a new one at Canadian Tire on sale for probably less than it would have cost me to get the other one fixed. It's just a basic sewing machine since I don't sew much.
Our snow is almost all gone and I've been cleaning some of my flowerbeds but I took Sunday off as a day of rest even though it was nice and sunny. Today is wet and cool.
I wish you all a HAPPY EASTER and some good weather.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, it is much appreciated.
Hugs, Julia
