Garden Sprouts

In less than a week, the garden has really taken off. The following items planted from seed on Sunday, April 20, have already broken ground: pumpkins, cucumbers, radishes, and green beans!

When planting from seed, it's important to transplant the baby seedlings in order to grow a healthy size veggie; failure to do so will result in stunted growth! The photos snapped below were taken before we got our hands dirty with the transplanting!


Cucumbers!


Pumpkins!


Radishes!


Since we created a raised bed planter, we added steps from one course of cinder blocks, filling the cores of each with dirt topped off by gravel. For decorative ambience, we added to stained glass stepping stones with garden themes that we had. Since the space leading into the garden was very small, we removed the grass adding in the pea gravel -- don't you just love to hear the crunch of pea gravel when you walk on it!
