Update 4-8-2010

It is April now and seedlings from February have grown big. Mama has planted an herb garden, Ambrose flower seeds, Stella pansies, myself flower seeds, and many other growing plants are also shown.
Mama's fennel. She used a package called Jiffy packs. These packs came in a black tray with a plastic tray of holes, in which compressed peat packets were installed. When this was filled with water, the peat packets expand, then you can plant the seeds. The seeds later sprout, and when time to plant outside, you can just plant the whole peat packet.


Mama's sage.


Mama's thyme.


Mama's marjoram.


And Mama's rosemary.


Here are Daddy's fuschias.


Ambrose's Zinnias. Planted Mar 28.


A single square of his snapdragons. Planted Mar 28.


One of Stella's pansies. Planted Mar 19th.


Here is one of my oregano seedlings - planted Mar 30th.


Daddy's coleus has red on it now!


One of Ambrose's marigolds has a bud!


My pepper, February plant.


Basil, still untransplanted.


Transplanted seed geraniums. I have 9 of them.


More marigolds.


The one begonia that did take root.


Geranium, cutting from November. The flower is a pink mixed with white.


2 yr. old geranium. I took the picture from this angle because it looked like a tree.


Tomato forest, 2nd generation.


Transplanted basil.


Tomato forest, 1st generation. We now have 36 tomatoes. Where in the world are we going to put them all!?


Daddy's tomatoes have produced buds!!!


We also have some blue Cilia outside.


2nd bunch.


Tulip sprout!


Daddy's cold frame. The glass came from Green Bay, the wood from Manitowoc, and the Screws from Chicago. Nice mix, heh?


He planted some spinach inside. Can you see it?
