My Practical Nursing program is going great, I am doing really well and my whole class is extremely smart. Definitely a new school experience for me, we are all in the course for the same reason, all with the same goal, it's such an easy environment to learn in.
We are heading into warmer weather already. Finally hitting the positives in the day, so I have started planning and planting our garden for this year! So excited to see our garden this year. It will be in containers, not 100% on location yet in our backyard, maybe deck, maybe down in the in-laws garden. I bought some grow bags off of eBay, 25 - 7 gallon bags with drainage holes, and filling with a 50/50 mix of topsoil and compost. We will also be putting a plastic bottle in each container partially covered in soil to be a drip irrigation into the roots directly (just going to stab the bottle a few times to make some slits in it). This will help with fertilizing every few weeks too. As long as I don't get carried away and forget to take pictures I will post some :-)
We got our seeds from www.westcoastseeds.com and the rest of it (other then the grow bags) was purchased at the dollar store. We do still need soil...
We got:
Peas (Little Marvel)
Beans (Tricolour Bush Bean Blend)
Cucumbers (Green Dragon)
Lettuce (Fast and Furious Babyleaf Blend)
Peppers (California Wonder 300)
Pumpkins (Howden)
Tomatoes (Red Robin and Celebrity)
Sunflowers (Short Blend)
Marigolds (Brocade Mix)
Cornflower (Bachelors Button)
And the company sent an extra pack of flower seeds for us, at no charge, it's a pollinating mix and I have no idea what's in it, I'm just going to spread it around the backyard I think :-)
The children are growing fast. Pictures to come of course!
Time to get back to life, I will be back soon. I promise :-)
