April Showers Bring May Flowers!

April showers bring May flowers.....At least I hope it does! I have never been able to start flowers from seed in pots, but I also do not have the proper equipment like a lamp, or green house etc... Today Dalton and I spread some compost over our flower beds and cleaned them up a bit.  I sewed the seed straight into the ground (thought I might have better luck). I decided to plant my herbs in the new flower bed Darren built me last year near the house. I have had a lot of success with planting the herbs in my garden beds, but I want them more accessible.  We sewed Daisies in the front flower bed and we sewed the Marigolds and Dill in pots. By the way my Parsley is still alive in the kitchen window and I even used it in a recipe the other day. I found some Daffodil bulbs in the building that have been there since November in a plastic bag; they have come out and bloomed!! I planted them in the front bed around the Hyacinths.

Daffodils - been in building all winter!

 I'm not going to buy a lot of annuals like I normally do. I want to try to start some plants with seed this year. Eventually I want a small green house so that I can start all my flowers and vegetables with seeds.
