How it’s going this year - I planted some specialty sunflower seeds from Sunflower Steve and unfortunately, a critter dug them all up.
Second pic is a standard sunflower from last year. I had to keep this one on my deck with a collar of wire around the planter so little animals kept the seedlings alone.
Last year, I used fabric pots on the deck to grow all my tomatoes. I have been dreaming of a small garden with raised beds since then, and we finally got it built this spring. I already planted the lettuce seedlings out into my tiny greenhouse and they’re doing well.
I am now just keeping tabs on the temperature so I can plant out my tomato seedlings. I’m in northern NJ and I don’t want to be tricked by another surprise frost.
I added mushroom solar lights for ambiance!
