Well here I go...

Since last summer when I realized it was too late in the season to plant vegetables, I made it a goal to do it right in 2010! I want to make it clear that I am NOT a "green thumb" and may even be the farthest from it. Any plant that crosses my path seems to be doomed from the beginning. This is due to a lack of a couple key components though, the knowledge (even as simple as "how much water is too much?") and time to care for them (which isn't much, I know).

So here I go to tackle something that is completely new to me and ready to get "down and dirty" with this new hobby.

Today, I planted some vegetables that I will be growing inside for the next 6-8 weeks. From the minimal reading I have done about growing vegetables, this way the plants have a chance to grow stronger and not have to deal with the cool nights that the northwest seems to have for most of the spring. I guess you want to avoid any frosts that may occur and could possibly kill the plants especially when the plants are so young.

The few vegetables and herbs I planted were, cilantro, basil, rosemary, parsley, jalapenos, bell peppers, zucchini and green onions. I will plant snap peas, cucumbers and tomatoes down the road.
