Plant Update!

It's been decided - the greenhouse is amazing! The seeds Michael and I planted a few weeks back have been doing so well that we're already thinking about doing a second round of cucumbers and summer squash (since one can never have enough!).  Since our first planting though, we have added jalapeno, habanero, hot yellow and sweet orange peppers, watermelons, roma, beefsteak and plum tomatoes, dill, scallions and sugar snap peas to the mix. 

Luckily, Michael expanded our garden this year and almost doubled it in size - otherwise, we would be in trouble and not have enough room to plant everything!  We're hoping to have good weather this weekend so we can put the new plastic down and begin to transplant some of the first seeds we started growing.  

Based on the progress of everything so far, I think I'll have my hands full this summer with canning and pickling (not to mention a little one!)!

Look at that progress!

One of us must have a green thumb for all of these seeds to be sprouting!
