Oh it is so exciting to watch the seeds begin to sprout. So we have tomatoes, lettuce, chives, chard, spinach, green onions, zucchini, cucumbers and leeks. The tomatoes are about 2" tall planted in an apple container from Costco. I can hardly wait for
the smell of tomatoes. The lettuce is beginning to look like lettuce. The lettuce and chard is grown in lettuce containers from the super market. Milk containers house the rest of the seeds. We water once a day due the little amount of soil in the containers as well as turning daily as the plants curve towards the sun. With snow still on the ground, the sun shining and another 6 weeks of possible snow it is wonderful to see life in our home.

June 1st the plants will go out on the deck and front entry area. We grow an entire garden with about 60 sq ft of space. Hanging, climbing and crawling makes it all possible. Yea spring is on the way. Our first snow came Halloween of this year and some of the snow has been on the ground since November. Winters can get long, however, skiing keeps us enjoying the winters in southern Montana. As well as vegetables we will start flowers also. We grow sunflowers and sweet peas on the deck and entry area. The smell of sweet peas and the taste of tomatoes will be wonderful.
