I've been following Fern's blog all winter long waiting impatiently to start a container garden on my east and west balcony at our new townhouse. She ask her followers to buy the same 5 seed packets, start our seeds indoor till we can pot them in a container then record how each pot is doing all over the world.
My seeds arrived 2 weeks ago, I bought a Jiffy greenhouse at Walmart to start the experience for Texas. My little seedlings have began to sprout so now I've been hunting a permanent container for their summer home. Found one at Ross (markdown!!!) about 18 inches deep.
Here are the seeds from Botanical Interests:
Sunflower Sunspot - grows to be about 18 to 24 inches tall
Garlic Chinese Chives -
Tomato Bush Better Bush -
Cucumber Spacemast -
Purple Petra Basil -
Except for the Sunflowers sounds like a good salad just add lettuce.
I planted the seeds on March 3, today all are popping their heads up.
Updates to follow!!

Yay! How do you know which seeds are which?
ReplyDeleteI have markers between my plants plus I've got so I can tell which seedling is what from my seed packet.
ReplyDeleteI love the group project of 5 seeds. Can't wait to see how different our containers will look.
