So excited to see that my plants are starting to bear some fruit!

The first image is from my tomato plant (the camera doesn’t really focus well, but that’s okay, can’t complain) and it seemed like, overnight, the tomato is getting bigger. It’s the only one we have other than the cherry tomato plant that is showing the beginnings of a few baby tomatoes.

The seeds that I started indoors are starting to sprout as well!

I used the indoor greenhouse from Wal-mart and planted six seeds.

I gently moved the peat moss away (suspense was too much) and all of them are starting to sprout, so I”m hoping by the end of this week, or next they will all start emerging.

It will be a few more weeks before they are ready to be transplated to actual plant holders to be moved outdoors.

Hubby recently told me of plans to get with my FIL and between the both of them,workon extending our backyard patio, so there goes the garden in the ground, but that’s okay.Well…the patio is more of a concrete slab but better than nothing, seriously, we’re not complaining and just thankful to our Heavenly Father, for the roof over our heads, since there are many who are without homes.

There’s still winter planting that we can do (very blessed to live in the area that we are) and to compenstate, Hubby found some stackable plant holders that I can use to keep the plants in the patio for now.

Here are the seed starter kit that I’m using to help start off my vegetable seeds!!! The ones on the far right and above is what the starter kit looks like before warm water is poured on them.

It takes a few minutes for the peat moss to expand and then the seeds are place in the center and gently covered.

Since this is working out great, I plan on adding sunflower seeds to the starter (There is 4 dozen still unused to start seeds with).

I do hope that if we are able to go to the nursery, I can find some green onion seedlings and/or white onion seedlings to plant but then again, if hubby is going to try to do what he is planning to do, I may have to at least hold off on the white onions.

The green onions, I can place in containers.
