Feeling Better!!!

Today I am feeling much better!

The tomatoes and tomatillos are over 3" tall. I will have to thin them soon. I always hate that part. The peppers have finally germinated and are about 1" tall. I tried an experiment this year. I put a heating pad under the little greenhouses to keep them warm. There was a remarkable difference between last year and this year. The tomatoes and tomatillos were sprouted in 3 days and the tomatoes in about 6 days. I had to take the tomatoes off because they were growing too fast =o)

On a happy note...

Tonight I start my Wilton Cake Decorating Course 1 at Michaels. I am so excited! I want to be ready to make the most amazing cake for Alicia's babies shower. Yes, "babies" shower...triplets!!!

On a not so happy note...
I also have to start my spring cleaning today because we are getting company next weekend. (The cleaning is the not so happy part.)

And to be completely random, here is my favorite picture from my honeymoon. Well, one of my favorites.

And so it begins...

I never thought I would start blogging, but I wanted an easy way to show my family my life after I moved across the continent. Here goes...

I planted my first tray of seeds for this years' vegetable garden on Monday morning and they have already begun germinating. The tomatoes and tomatillos are over 1" tall! I also have cascabella chiles and serrano chiles in this flat, but they tend to take a bit longer to start growing.


Today I am going to go shopping for organic vegetable potting soil and garden soil. I want to plant some elephant garlic and my asparagus crowns. (Hopefully the Comcast guy will actually show up so I can go out.) I am also going to start planning my plots for our vegetable garden. Hooray for diagrams!
