Sown Another Batch of Seeds

As mentioned earlier I got my seeds yesterday after a looong 3 week wait. I went ahead and sown almost each and every single type of seed that arrived. Even bought a couple more at the local grocery too. LOL.

Here’s a pic of the tray that my mom got me. It’s now properly labelled (finally) and has got all types of seeds sown.

Gardening Updates

Well it’s been raining here now. And according to yahoo it’s gonna be raining til next week. Great for people since it’s gonna get a lot cooler, but bad for my plants in general.

I’ve had my melon plants outside for about one and a half weeks now and they’ve grown accustomed to the outside. I just hope they survive the battering this rain’s gonna give them. I hope they don’t drown.
