This is my attempt at keeping a garden journal. I never seem to keep up with journals (or blogs) for that matter, but everywhere I read the experts say I should keep one. This is my second square foot garden. Last year, we started in the middle of the summer and had the harvest go into fall. This year, we are starting much earlier. Our little 4x4 square of adventure as I like to think of it.

Time to Plant

Hopefully all this looming cold weather and snow warnings will not affect my garden from producing. Today I added a bag of manure to the garden box, mixed it with the top soil and water to create a nice environment for new seeds. I am trying more from seeds this year than purchasing seedlings at Lowes or some other garden center. It always amazes me how something grows from a tiny seed.

This year I am starting Black Cherry Tomatoes, Sweet Bell Peppers, and Black Beauty Eggplant inside. I put the seeds in peat pots with seed starter and wrapped them in plastic bags. We keep the house on the chilly side but I'm hoping they will do okay to transplant later.
