Grow All The Things!

Hi!  I'm a slacker and I know it.  I've started my new job at Sephora full time now, which has been really fun and extremely exhausting at the same time so I haven't done much besides work and sleep for the last week. However, last week on Sunday I planted a bunch of seeds that my roommate, Kaeley, bought.  A week and a thunderstorm or two later, some of them started sprouting!

 The red background is radishes and the yellow is sunflowers!  We also have peppers, tomatoes, cilantro, basil and thyme planted, but they haven't really started besides a tiny leaf or two.  I'm so excited!  We have a little raspberry planter too, but we haven't quite gotten to it yet.  I can't wait to have big sunflowers and home-grown peppers for the summer.

This is the first time I've really tried to grown things and luckily it's looking like it will work out.  Let me know if you have any gardens growing or any other suggestions for growing your own food at home!  I'll eep you posted about our little sprouts!  I'm counting this as my Random Act of Kindness to plant/grow something.  Happy Monday, everyone!

Week 9

Hello, hello and welcome to another Sunday!  This week's act of kindness was #18, which will be carried through tomorrow as well.  I bought a few packets of seed today to leave for a coworker tomorrow or Tuesday morning.  I specifically bought her cucumbers because I know last year she grew string beans with her preschool class and when they were done growing the kids got to eat them.  A lot of the kids get cucumbers in their lunches, so I figured it was an appropriate choice.

I also bought some seeds and starter pots for myself because I would really like to start growing my own veggies.  If anyone has any tips or tricks to growing your own food, I'm all ears!

Happy Monday Eve!
