The XXS Garden

I have garden genes on both sides of the family, and can usually get things to grow…but this year it seems that time has been buzzing by like crazy! I really wanted to do some seed plants, but when I remembered again…..it was way to late : ( Well, maybe next year.


I saw this creative way to do seed starters and want to try it…. here is the link: http://www.simplyvintagegirl.com/blog/index.php/2012/03/26/eggshells-dirt-seeds/

Anyways, no one laugh at our tiny little garden this year (thus the name XXS), we do hope to have quite a bit of produce from it. Even though it is small!

Even if we don’t have a huge garden, we do have a whole bank of ivy and also another separate bank of daffodil plants and a bunch of flowers and bushes; which makes for a lot of weeding! Mom also has her herb garden and potted plants but we really didn’t have any other things (like vegetables) until today…

Papa and Momma went on one of their Saturday shopping excursions and brought some vegetables and marigolds for me to plant, also some more herbs to go in her H-Garden (she got some new ones that can go in goat cheese).

As for the XXS Garden this is what we planted (no laughing anyone): 3 Tomato plants, 2 Zucchini, 2 Squash, 2 cucumbers and 6 marigolds.

A lot of work has gone into the XXS Garden….
