Hello blog friends. Happy June!
Let's Re-Grow Lettuce
Have you ever tried to re-grow lettuce? I didn't realize that you could do this but I discovered you can by visiting the blog Walking On Sunshine Recipes. Lois explains how to re-grow lettuce HERE.
I make salads every day and I thought that this would be a great idea to try.
I was so happy to see the romaine lettuce re-growing after a week.

The steps are easy to re-grow your own lettuce:
- Take romaine lettuce and cut off the end of the lettuce.
- Add water to a mason jar.
- Place the end of the lettuce in a mason jar.
- Change water every other day in the mason jar.
- Wait for lettuce to start re-growing in the middle of the lettuce.
- You can replant lettuce after 2 weeks of growing to a pot or garden.

Hello blog friends.
Happy Earth Day!

Back in March, I decided I wanted to plan out my container gardening by planting vegetables and lettuce seeds.
 |
I ordered on Amazon the seed starter kit, and some vegetable and lettuce seeds. I added to the trays dirt and seeds as seen below. The seed starter kit came with labels that I wrote out the name and placed them in each section.

You can see below the growing process.

I added water to each section and placed the cover on the trays with a half vent. I placed each of them in a big tray and put it on my window sill indoors where the sun shines in the afternoon.

| Day 17 - 4/17/20 |
I will soon be transferring the seeds into pots and bring them outside when the weather is warmer.
I will need to add chicken wire or something around the pots since I have a lot of squirrels that run around my yard. The squirrels love to dig up the dirt. Using the chicken wire was recommended by a neighbor. I'm hoping that this works to keep the squirrels away.

Have you done any gardening lately?
Hello, friends and Happy May! I can't believe it's already the beginning of May. The weather is finally starting to warm up here. Yay! I hope it is in your neck of the woods.
 |
Unfortunately, with it being such a cold spring here, I have not been able to do any spring planting of flowers or vegetables yet.
I am hoping to be able to do some planting of flowers by Mother's Day. I love going to the garden center and picking out a variety of flowers, herbs, and vegetables to plant in containers in my yard.
Every day I get out to walk my dog and on one of our walks, I managed to take photos of these daffodils growing wild on the sides of the street.
 |
In my front yard, I have a cherry blossom tree that I enjoy looking at when it blooms. Right now it looks like it has snowed with all of the blossoms laying on the ground.
 |
On one of my visits walking through our neighborhood, I happened to pass a florist that had a huge variety of spring flowers outside its shop.
 |
I love hydrangea plants and they are one of my favorite flowers. I like all the different shades of the flower blooms but my favorite are the ones that come in the pink.
 |
I happened to be passing by this pretty planter with colorful pink and purple flowers surrounding a small tree.
 |
I am not sure what these white flowers are but they look so pretty in the gold plant stand.
 |
The yellow daffodils in this planter look so cheerful and brighten everything up after the bad winter and cold spring we've had.
 |
I can't wait to do my spring gardening soon. I hope you all enjoyed looking at these spring flowers in my neighborhood.
I will be sharing at this garden link party. This is a monthly garden link party that will take place on all five blogs. It is to be hosted the last Friday of every month until Fall.
