New cedar trellis

My hubby made me a gorgeous cedar trellis for additional gardening space.  When I commented on how pretty it was, and how we could put more tomatoes there, he built a sf box to go under it:

This will allow me to plant an additional four tomato plants here, using the smaller Siberian cherry tomato seeds I ordered this week.    So excited for March 15, when I can start my tomato seedlings.


Since you can see this trellis outside the kitchen window, I plan on putting sweet peas between the tomatoes to have some flowers growing up the side of the shed.  Gorgeous addition!

Seedlings!!

Picked up some packets of seeds to start in early March to be ready for transplanting in May and getting so excited about the garden for this year.  Something so wonderful about waking up and seeing how much your plants have grown that day - almost like they are shooting up overnight.   

Found some fun little windowpane sized mini greenhouses to try in our hallway windows that get excellent light (well, for Seattle anyway).    I'm hoping to increase my tomato production by double and learn how to make stewed canned tomatoes this year.  

Square foot gardening

As of 7/8/09 - getting ripe tomatoes and tons of buds with cucumbers, peppers and beans. Ate bush beans straight from the garden last week, didn't even make it inside. Good stuff!
