Digging for Gold

Thursday, April 16th: Sooo, I came home today and found out Kizzie had escaped and had a grand ole time playing "catch me if you can" down the street. And while she was free, it appeared she went on a digging expedition too because her paws had dirt all over them. I played with her for a bit and went on to plant the new butterfly plants I just found at Sev. I'm chillin, planting, enjoying the fresh air. I feel a lil more skilled as I'm planting 3 pots of Butterfly plants. Then I get up to survey the progress of my other plants and I noticed a lonnng trench in one of the pots. Hmmm, that's strange. Then it clicked, "Kizzie!!!!" She at least had the decency to hang her head but she still seemed quite pleased with herself.



I saw a lone zucchini seed unearthed and exposed on top of the soil. I thought the plants were safe at least until they started growing! LOL No big deal, I'll just have to buy a fence sooner than I thought. Is she laughing at me?

Planting the first seeds

Saturday, April 11th: Ok, I got my supplies and it's a beeeautiful day, so let's get to plantin! I got every book I could from the library including: Container Gardening for Dummies, and went on countless garden websites including: http://www.caes.uga.edu/extension/. I was a lil nervous because I decided at the last minute to start my garden and so I didnt start any seedlings indoors. I chose to start everything from seed. Here goes:

I wasn't sure which pot to use for each plant, so I doubled up on a few. I realized that most of the pots were too small, so I wouldn't have enough. Oh well, I'll just plant what I can today. I was being stingy with the soil! I just kept thinking..."I only have two bags, I gotta ration". So as a result, some of my pots don't have dirt that reaches to the top.

Carrots

Zucchini, Squash & Carrots

Oregano, Basil & Thyme

Bibb Lettuce

Ok, now I have to purify the space so I am burning my sweetgrass and asking the Creator for an abundant harvest. Ashe'
