Excuse the pun, but since it was around 80 degrees today, I figured it was best to stop by the Home Depot and pick up some seeds and start them!
I got this little greenhouse thing that I got last year. It was pots of soil and you just stick the seeds in, keep it watered, and put the plastic top over and it works like a mini greenhouse. (And it was like $6 for 72 seed pots, so I'm happy.)
For the seed pots I got:
- poppies
- peppers (Carnival Hybrid mix. I got this last year, but I only got yellow and green. *crosses fingers for purple!*)
- thyme (common thyme; my favorite herb)
- catnip (for my Girls)
- basil (sweet basil; mmm, basil, mozzarella and tomato paninis!)
- parsley (single Italian plain leafed; pesto!)
- lettuce (gourmet blend)
- carrots
- cosmos (they grow really good here, and are tall, so they'll be nice to have in the back amongst veggies)
I had no idea you could grow catnip!! You learn something new every day!!
ReplyDeleteI once tried growing radishes.Went horribly wrong. But my Mum grows tomatos :)Good luck with it! The seed thingy you got sounds so handy!
You can grow catnip and catgrass. Perks of being a crazy cat lady, I guess.
ReplyDeleteAw, what happened with the radishes?
Tomatoes grow great here. It's awesome.
The radishes didn't grow properly - they just grew loads of leaves and no actual radishes lol! It was a total mess...
