Mary Mary quite contrary...

Remember my planting project a few weeks ago? Here are my precious plants now. The ones above are my tomatoes and eggplant.

A week later I planted about 75 cucumber plants. We're going to be dreaming cucumbers...they've all been very successful.
Amber's morning glory are growing beautifully. Since I have so many seeds, I'm thinking about giving these as mother's day gifts and planting the other seeds.

I've enjoyed starting our own seeds. Each night I water the plants before I turn off the lights. Its become my moment of zen. Smelling the dirt and tomatoe leaves is refreshing after a long day of chasing children. I can hardly wait to get them in the ground and do some serious gardening!

Your seedlings look marvelous!! Dh hasn't started any yet. Taking a two-weeks' vacation puts a cramp in his gardening style. He really needs to get the onions in. It's also been cool and rainy here, which doesn't help. I'm not going to show him yours or he'll be depressed. :}

I love the smell of the tomato plants, almost exactly as the fruit itself. I need to get busy with thinking about planting too!
