After work I went over to Zehrs to pick up some herbs, and pregrown veggies.
I know I will only push it off more, so I pushed myelf to get them.
There was a sale of Buy 10 for $35.00 and they are decent sized plants.
I got a pepper plant for my mom (I was running out of things to buy), 2 zucchini plants, 1 tomato plant. Also, parsley, basil, dill, oregano, cilantro, rosemary, and catnip.
I plan on going back to get the seeds for the lettuce, carrots, celery, spinach, and a few others (I was debating of strawberries and raspberries - they are $9.99 a piece).
I bought 2 long planters as well to plant all the herbs and such in and hopefully bring them in during the winter.

Zehrs has a really good selection don't they and good price as well which is nice. Ouch on the strawberries I bought there preplanted ones for $3.50 each and got to plants which was not bad at all
Did you see the said bowls they have for $9.99 every time I'm there I'm tempted to buy one for the rabbits with all the different types of lettuce growing in them I know the rabbits would have such a good time with it as well I'm hoping they come on half price soon as I'm alwaysbailing their half price rack :p

I knew about iceburg lettuce. I will have to go pick some out of her bowl and see what he likes. Hes already spoiled, hes back at not eating the hay unless I feed it to him. Typical man he is and my Mom brings him a afternoon snack of carrots. He certainly isnt stupid and knows how to work people over.

I too like gardening very much but as I am from India, I can't plant carrot and few other stuffs mainly because of the climate. But, I have already planted tomato, green chilly, green leaf and pumpkin. Its growing nicely and I am planning to grow some more vegetables this weekend.

Raspberries are beneficial to a woman's health so I would reccommend them. You can take the leaves and dry them out and make a tea out of the leavs to drink, it's actually good. A bit tart, but I drink the stuff out of the box never have done the fresh stuff.

I buy the frozen ones and add yogurt and a little juice to make a smoothy. It's a great snack. I put banana with it and have a banana berry blend with yogurt and drink it as a meal replacement.

Well that sounds good, now that you have them you will feel more obligated to take care of them or else their lives will be wasted. I started all of my plants indoors this year and am looking to get them all planted out in my garden today. I love gardening so much and tomorrow on my day off I'm going to a yoga ranch to help them in their garden as well.
Starting seeds indoors was a little bit more tricky than I thought it would be but most of my plants seem to be doing well and I hope that they will be okay once I transplant them into the garden today. I also may buy some prestarted plants sometime this week from a farm in Petoskey. They are offering all plants for two dollars so I might stop out there and get some good ones. I have a wide variety of tomato plants but I just love having as much as possible, I'm looking for some white and pink varieties and I'll probably also check out their pepper plants.
Anyways good luck with your plants I hope that they become happy and healthy and have a good life under your care.

I think growing inside is hard to begin with especially from the seeds. I bought these pregrown, and I may start my lettuce, carrots, and celery from seeds this year. I do hipe yours grow big and successful for you. I need to go back and grab a few more plants as well.

Hi Ricki! Well, if all those plants bear you a good crop it should be well worth uoir money. I have space for a little garden. I don't know if B will let us gave one though. I would take care of ot vi would live to have cucumbers and watermelon and I would Luke to get one of B's blueberry bushes or two. She has a blueberry farm. .
