View from the front. View from my porch. I bought a few packets of veggie seeds but I still have a lot of learning to do. A lot of learning. I'm excited though and wanted to share. I'm sure I'll be visiting this forum quite a bit. Plant smiles, grow giggles, harvest love.

That shadow you see is a very small tree. I'm 5'2" and I'm taller than that tree, lol. Plant smiles, grow giggles, harvest love.

Do you plan to do vertical gardening in the future? Did you do companion planting? What mix of soil did you use? Enquiring minds want to know.

I don't remember what one of them was but it supposed to be especially good for veggie gardens. The other brand I used was Miracle Grow organic soil. I put a bag of organic compost that was specially formulated for vegetables on top and watered it and let it sit for a few days. Then I planted the seeds, which are all Hume Organic seeds. Here are some pics of the progress so far. Tomorrow marks two weeks since planting the seeds. Carrots Spinach Leaf Lettuce Plant smiles, grow giggles, harvest love.
