Last April.

In April, the seedlings were doing great!
A bit of adjustments here and there like switching paper pots to plastic to keep the starts moist.
It is such a feeling to grow your own vegetables and watch your seeds becoming real and abundant plants and food. (as I am writing this, my plants are a lot bigger!)

Being out of time to build the wooden container boxes, we had to come up with an another quick/cheap/reclaimed option...

- $0.59 Ikea shopping bag as a container -

And it keeps well moist.

Some starts went out, cucumber, tomatoes, beans (pictured) and squash.

 eggplant

 tomato plant

basil, so little and already a powerful smell!

 strawberries

 carrots - la parisienne

 purple cauliflower and romanesco

march - garden log

By march, we were preparing wooden containers, slowly, as we used reclaimed material we first had to break the palettes down before being able to cut and put them together... we will actually never finish them all!

Not enough time! And well... too many boxes...

I have read in all the gardening books I opened that you should start small for your first vegetable garden... of course I didn't listen!

The seedlings were growing well by our sunny bedroom window- many tiny flies coming from it will make me find a new place for my next year starts, like a small greenhouse!
