Well I have the patience of a 7 year old and just couldn't wait any longer to put out my seedlings into the garden. I know, I know too soon but I have always been wild and crazy and so I put them out. It seems warm enough? Well none have died yet so that is a good thing. A totally inappropriate friend of mine suggested I take garden hoe-esque photos of myself in the garden which I thought would be very fun but since my 7 year old took the photos they remained P.G. Although I will totally give him credit for the photos when I am rich and famous. But back to the seedlings... Here they are, wild and wooly but they didn't get too out off control as I had previously thought. So lesson 1 learned, you can implant an excessive amount of seeds in a small container and have it work out.
I love how my son cuts of the top of my head in every pic.
Maybe a little Freudian?
The first problem I encountered was these little nest like pots I had planted the seedlings in. Do I take the seedlings out of them or plant them right into the ground?
I didn't know so I planted some in the nests and some without the nests. We will see which ones turn out better.
So after I made that agonizing decision (trust me it was exhausting) I ran head on into another problem. If each one of those seedlings is an individual plant and if they are all bunched together in the ground will they grow properly? Do I have to take each individual seedling and separate it and then plant it. And how far apart do I implant them? The stress!!! So lacking patience I just lumped them all in together and said a prayer to the gardening gods and we'll see......
Look how stressed I look!
Finished product, a little sad and pathetic.
Superstore was charging $20.00 for a "salad container" we made our own.
