I am actually going to do a series of post about gardening this week.  One of my goals for this year was that I started all the plants from seeds this year!  So far with a little help from volunteers I have been successful.  This has amounted to a HUGE savings.  Plant starts in my area are averaging around $5 each.  I started some seeds back on February 16th, I was amazed at what actually I was able to grow. In the greenhouse, until today we had around 160 plants. The total before taxes is $800!  I paid less than $5 a pack for seeds so even at worst we saved $775! 

These pictures were taken just before pulling them out for planting. Next are the pictures after we planted. I will not be including these in the update tomorrow just for ease and space.

Tomato beds are BEAUTIFUL!

I also have a huge section of California wonder bell peppers.  Planting took a long time probably close to 6 hours but I am so excited to have everything in the ground.

Tomorow will include pictures of the things we got planted out last Sunday as well!
