For the few years I've been cultivating my home garden, I've struggled with starting my plants from seeds. I think the main problem is I don't get enough sun on my garden. The seeds will sprout, but not flourish, for want of sunlight.
Today I stopped by the nursery and got a few plants to add to the garden, now that it looks like the seeds just aren't cutting it. Next year, with the select few exceptions, I'm going straight to seedlings.
Joining my garden: three kinds of peppers, eggplant, cucumber, yellow crook-necked squash, musk melon, watermelon, and 12 new baby lettuces. The lettuces I added because I've been eating so many salads this year, and the six plants I have are having a hard time keeping up. Now I think I'll have enough lettuce that I'll be giving it away in bulk. Fun!
Meanwhile, back in the wine barrel, the plants are doing really well, getting all the sun they need. And we have baby green beans. They're so adorable. Look for the tiny bean in the above picture. Cute, right?
