Plants.....more plants! Mwah ha ha ha!

Today I stopped by at home depot and picked a gigantic bag of miracle grow moisture control. I'm hoping it will help with the heat of summer drying out my seedling containers. I also bought Jiffy 72 Cell Pro-Hex Seed Starting Tray and several seed packets.

Today I planted:
Sunflower (evening sun)
Sunflower (autumn beauty mixed)
Watermelon ( crimson sweet)
Watermelon (heirloom seeds Georgia rattlesnake)
Beans (bush blue lake, 247)
Lettuce (giant Caesar)

Get your green thumb on!

My name is Rachael but you can call me Moo.

I have created this awesomesauce blog as a way to track the growth of my garden chronologically. I hope that sharing my garden publicly will help inspire, learn, and enjoy simple nature.  My ultimate goal is to transform an ugly town home patio into a beautiful butterfly oasis. 


Fugly.

I have yet to try gardening in Zone 10b (think swamp) and look forward to enjoying year round tropical blooming weather offset by battling swarms of pests, poor soil quality, extreme heat and damp conditions.

Follow my journey through trials and tribulations as I bumble my way through the world of gardening.
