RyDub's turn at plants

One of the bets things about moving out of the apartment and into a house is the addition of a backyard all to myself. The mowing will get annoying but the chance to finally grow my own veggies, fruits, and other assorted plants far outweighs the annoyance of yard upkeep. Thankfully, the previous tenants had started a compost heap. I've already added a decent amount to it and hopefully it will only get stronger.

With the help of Ashleigh, I plan on doing some pretty hefty gardening. See below for the spread of our hopeful bounty.

We bought two Jiffy 72 plot indoor greenhouse starter kits. (But don't buy it on Amazon. These can be found at Lowes and even Walmart for around $5). Just add water and the little peat pellets swell up and are ready for you to drop in some seeds.

Just drop the seeds in, cover, and set aside for now. Here's the finished product.

Now we just place the plastic dome on top and set them to get a bit of sun for a couple weeks. I'll post some progress pics. Can't wait to move these guys and gals to the yard!

  1. All you have to do now is just water them every now and then.

  2. I left out that we put 2-3 seeds in each pod in case some don't sprout. Standard stuff though. Like Rob, we'll just cut out the extras. Some must die so others can live on. Such is life.
