Grow and Meme

We were tagged by our friend Sammie to do this meme. We have done something similar before. The rules are: Open the first photo file folder. Go to the 10th photo. Post and tell the story about that photo. Then tag 5 other bloggers to do this meme.
Ok, we went to our first photo file folder for 2010(because the ones from previous years, you have already seen) and the 10th(we had to include 11th & 12th also) photo is this(below):

Want to take a guess who done it? If you guessed Samantha, you got it right! Samantha, the toy-hog & toy-destroyer, got a purple Wubba for Christmas and she destroyed it in February.
It is Spring and it is planting season. Yay! About 2 weeks ago I went to Lowes and got an inexpensive plastic shelf and some grow lights and made myself a grow-rack.



So far I have got almost everything started except for the cucumbers, zucchinis, pumpkins and winter squash. I'll be starting those in another week or so. Here are what I have started:
  • Peppers (Jalapenos, Sweet Banana, Italian Pepperoncini)
  • Tomatoes (Cherokee Purple, BetterBoy, Beefmaster, Yellow Pear, Black Cherry, Costoluto Genovese*)
  • Herbs (Sweet Basil, Cinnamon Basil, Parsley, Fennel)
  • Onions (Red Marble Cipollini, Copra)
  • Flowers (Marigold, Carousel Mix Zinnias*, Lilliput Mix Zinnias)
  • Asian Greens (Baby Bok Choy, Pai Tsai, Kyona, Napa Cabbage) - These were transplanted outside yesterday
  • Cabbage (Couer De Boeuf Des Vertus - a French bull-heart type) - Transplanted outside yesterday

*Got these from Lena from Sleeping Dog Bakery

I've also planted outside the following:

  • Snap Peas (Sugar Sprint)
  • Lettuce (Mesclun Mix, Grand Rapids, Amish Deer Tongue*)
  • Radishes (Sparkler, Watermelon)
  • Carrots (Red Cored Chantenay, Purple Haze)

Wow, You've got a lot started. I like your super cool growing system.
Isn't that the way with toys and active dogs? Got it in December and it's dead in February :O)

We have to say the same Ha Ha as Mochi - we have a red one here that TD had fun with. For some reason he thinks wubbas are more fun without the ball.

Good luck with your garden.

YAY for Spring! I've been planting, too. Only I'm in the South, so I'm skipping the starting inside part and playing outside in the dirt! LOL!

You are doing great in the seeds department. You have way more than I have!!!
Our Tomatoes have all come up and will need to be transplanted out side in a couple of days. We have 2 rosemary's up but there are growing slow. All our basil have come up and growing go. Nint, Marigolds, sweet peppers and more are just now picking out of the soil. You are a great gardener!!!
