Introducing a Garden!

bluemeridianHowdy! Gardening season is indeed upon us here in northwest Ohio (zone 5b, fyi) - if you're starting seeds it is anyway! This is my second year of 'serious' gardening and, like the first year, is still mostly about tripping along and trying things and being amazed when something actually grows. I've been chronicling my progress in my journal (tag: gardening) and I do have a separate gardening journal with the garden stuff cross-posted for the convenience of my very non-fandom, barely-computer-using relatives (Blues Garden).
As of right now, just over 4 weeks out from our final frost free date, I have growing in the living room tomatoes, beets, leeks, onions, peppers, basil, oregano, sage, impatiens, lettuce, and a couple of other flowers all started from seed (here's a list of all the cultivars I'm planting this year). The garden itself is still a muddy mess! I have my fingers crossed that it'll be ready to go in just over two weeks when it's time to plant the seed potatoes.
( Some images from last year. )
You can find more pictures from last year at my 2009 photo album, and there's also a 2010 photo album that's just started to get underway.
(I've also been known to ramble on about canning, as that obviously ties into my gardening! Technically, it has its own separate tag - canning - and separate photo album. *g*)
