Life is good, enjoying being busy :) Weather has been a little wet and sucky, and I need to prep my garden soon. I don't think I'll sprout seeds indoors this year - i'll plant what seeds i have directly in the soil when it's warmer and get the sprouts at the market already started. I will cost me a little more, but I want to try it out see what difference it makes. Maybe the bought stuff is better quality? And it will definitely save me time and space inside the apartment.

I think i'll add some hot peppers to the mix this year too. Made a hot sauce last year with some home grown peppers from my friend and it was delicious. I'll try for tomoatoes again, hopefully they grow bigger than berry-size this year. I'll re-plant radishes and salads too. And some dill, basilic and mint outside the planter to take over instead of the weeds. I already put in garlic last fall, but it might have been too cold already.

Already preparing for the struggle with squirrels, i think I need to build a better enclosure this year.

Year 2 of gardening here I come! Many lessons learned last year, and I'm sure there will be much more this year too.
