Since I’m a newbie at starting a vegetable garden, I am starting out with just a few things. I decided I wanted tomatoes for salsa and sauces. Of course, I will also need jalapenos and parsley to go with that. We also like carrots, sweet peas, and green beans so I went with those.
I filled my pots with soil. Don’t they look like little hamburgers?
I then wet the soil thoroughly with warm water. You can’t really see that but I did, I promise.
I used a pencil to make a hole in each pot.
I added a seed (or two or three) per hole. Some of the seeds were really tiny so a few more found their way into the holes.
I covered the seeds with the dirt and then watered again with warm water. After that, I put the green house cover over them. You can already see the steam generating inside the container. Fingers crossed that this works!
I forgot to mention earlier in this post to remember which pots you put each kind of seed (blonde moment.) You will need to know this so you can label them.
Glad to see your jumping into vegetable gardening. Love your posts.
