Matt’s Adventures in Northwest Gardening

Today, Baseball’s Opening Day 2007, I have decided that my mourning period over my lost tomatoes has ended. The carnage is done. The wounds have not completely healed, but Jen says I can’t punish the cat or I will have to sleep in my truck. Something about him not understanding, as well as being “ridiculously cute”.

So, below you will find pictures of my tomato plants from today. I re-potted them to these mid-size containers on Thursday night, with the intention of upsizing them again once more before I put them out in the green house. Last year, I put them in the ground the weekend before Mother’s Day. I think I will shoot for that again this year.

I also have planted some of my first seeds of the year in the garden. Going in last weekend were the beets, carrots and radishes. It immediately frosted over a bit the next morning, but it was light, and I doubt it effected the seeds. Today I planted to two rows of spinach, which grows well all year, but preferring the cold. I will put some pictures up tomorrow when the sun is out.

My mom also bought me a packet of these seeds:

They are called Donut Seeds. Um. I couldn’t help myself, I had to open it to see what was inside. Apparently, donuts are grown from what appears and smells like ground up cheerios. I wonder if I should start them indoors?
