The tomato seeds, from last week, are starting to sprout, and within 10 days will be ready to plant! The cost for this project was only $3.25; the cost to purchase 36 tomato plants at Lowes or Walmart, $99.00!

Half of the pepper plants are planted, and within a week should spout! The remaining peppers will be planted this week!

My summer salad bowl is coming along well! We should expect to have an actual salad within a month!

Here is part of the first tray of green beans planted a month ago, and they were planted yesterday, four per pot, with a tomato cage for support on the patio! Six weeks until beans; Roxxie, my West Highland White Terrier, seems as excited as I am!

As well, my free Arbor day pine tree sapling from the previous Earth Day, is doing well, as has been replanted!

Here are my lilies grown with $0.25 bulbs from the Dollar Tree, now re-planted on my front porch!

Finally, here is my Gerbera Daisy, grown from seed,  one of my favorites!

Until next week, keep growing!

    Oh, how nice it’ll be for you to eat totally fresh homemade veggies. I hope to grow some tomato plants this year.

      Is there anything better than homegrown tomatoes? 🙂
