Getting That Gardening Urge

I am getting excited about container gardening...

I grew up on a farm, so the garden my parents set out was huge. I remember digging in the dirt, putting in the seeds, planting seedlings, and finding worms cut in half. I also remember weeding portions of that plot. And going out early in the morning with instructions to "pick peas" or "pick strawberries" or "pick tomatoes." (I really did not like those tomato worms. They reminded me of small versions of those monsters in old 1960s and 70s B movies. Do you know what I mean?)

BUT, today, I appreciate the idea of having a garden!

I have determined that this year I am having some pots on my balcony or somewhere of yes, tomatoes (!), lettuce, onions, and peppers!

I LOVE spring green onions...and just think of your own tomatoes...your own salad lettuce. And peppers! Can anyone say homemade salsa?

Yum!

Now, how to do it? And, where do I get seeds that are genetically modified? There are places out there that sell them! Fortunately I have friends who know where. There Internet has its advantages!

I'll you posted! (Pun intended.)

Till next time,
Jeanette

Yikes! Did I say that I wanted genetically modified seeds? NO! I want seeds that have not been genetically modified! If you ever need an example of a proofing blunder, this would make a good one!
