Dan's Patio Garden

I had just one bean sprouting yesterday (Tuesday). Like magic, this is what it looks like today (Wednesday) Beans are magic.

I really have no idea what I'm doing, but I think this is too many dwarf tomato plants for this small container. The sprouts are large enough to pull pretty easily, so I watered the dirt to loosen it up and started the slaughter. Here's what it looks like now: Hopefully that's enough space to lets these plants grow strong.

We've got some sprouting going on. I just planted these seeds on Friday (it's now Monday) and have already forgotten what's what. It will be interesting to see what grows.

Water and sunlight, it's good for plants right?

Gardening has been on my to-do list for a while now. Now that I'm home all the time, I figured I'd get started. A few weeks ago I bought a dwarf tomato plant seeds and stuff that came in a can at the Winco. I put the soil it came with and the seeds in it and after a few days, the seeds sprouted. Woot woot! With that little victory, I decided to go all out -- well, as all out as my patio would allow. I already store two kayaks on the apartment's patio, but I thought I could get a few pots and small planters and be good to go. After an online order at Home Depot (total $47) and a run inside the big box store for plants and seeds ($17), I've got some things that will hopefully grow. I trimmed the "wild" rose bush that grows in the corner down. Now I just have to wait and water and hope there's enough sunlight on my patio.
