Happiness

What a weekend!  I moved a few flats of seedlings out to the greenhouse, and then I proceeded to plant another 600 seeds.  By hand.  One by one.  Let me just state for the record that I'm grateful for my yoga training.  Repeated spinal waves were the only thing that kept my back from figuratively breaking.  It sure felt literal though.

My little plants in the green house are so happy!

I'm not thrilled about the bright orange tie-down, but the winds we've had recently have been CRAZY!  I'd rather have the bright orange tie-downs than have my greenhouse go visit Dorothy and the Wizard.


My Coleus are REAL happy.

So happy it's like a whole party in a leaf.

The chives and thyme are happy too.

And look how tall and happy the Marjoram is!

My tomatoes will be happy soon.  They're still wishing for the 80 degree heat.  But when the sun shines on them- real sun, not fake grow lights, they too will be real happy.  Just like the parsley.

I expect my Violas to bloom any day since they are so happy.  Ok, not really, but they are very happy and perky now.

And look at the bee balm.  Not quite sure what to make of all this happiness, but determined to make a good effort.

This is amazing!!! Your plants all look incredible!!! seriously... mine never look that good! maybe i missed it, but you need to write a post on what you fertilize with and how often and stuff... I am trying some fish emulsion this year for my seedlings. My tomatoes are only about 3 inches high right now...

We had snow last week too... gag! and rain rain rain now... but i did get potatoes in yesterday! :)

i can't wait to see your whole landscape plan... 'cause you have a LOT of plants growing!!!
