Seeds

I was asked what kind of seeds I was planting. I decided this year to capitalize on the sunniest part of my property, the small front garden. And when I say small, I mean small. It probably isn't much bigger than my living room (also not large). However, it is the sunniest spot and the best place to grow vegetables. In the past, a standard rose was planted in the centre and the rest of the area was graveled. It would be too much work to remove the gravel so I'm going to go for growing the veggies in containers. I've started off seeds for sweet peppers, cherry tomatoes, courgettes, runner beans and 2 pumpkin plants. I'm also going to grow sunflowers, and salad greens. The sunflowers are being planted today and I'll wait till the beginning of May for the salad. I'm also going to plant some annual flower seeds.
