There is going to be fireworks... redux!

And we reached the right conclusions and we got what we deserve, we did it! Despite the odds, I managed to make the house look a modicum more presentable though I have decided my new mop officially sucks and I am also less than amused that my dustpan has vanished. I made lots of yummy food including the last minute zucchini muffins which my husband actually likes! So the 4th was a success! I also have a ton of little seedlings, I will share pictures tomorrow, and the peas are doing so well. And finally, I have a cucumber. ;;_;; Only the carrots and marigolds have not made any sort of appearance. If worse comes to worse I will just buy marigolds for their disease/pest control properties as I do not plan to eat them. (Yes, I know you can, but marigolds are not yummy to me) I think carrots are just slow. I am so hoping to plant on Fri, but I want my damn zucchini seeds now!

So happy 4th to everyone, and I hope you're all as stuffed as I am! :D

Congratulations on the successful 4th of July... and the cucumber! :D Did you take pictures??

I tried growing carrots once, and... well...

They weren't exactly as advertised.

I've heard that carrots need sandy soil to grow well. I don't really have the patience to set up proper conditions for carrots, alas!

I have to edit the picture of our first set of carrots. We got a few a little bigger than those but overall they were tiny. It doesn't help we planted them at the end of September >>;

But yes, added some pictures and you an see the tiny cucumber start. The carrots and marigolds are so tiny you can't see them, but they are there!

Peas seem to do well, don't they? Ours never seem to make it to the kitchen, Mum keeps snacking on them instead!

But yes, I would like to see the pictures and join you in your excitement over seedlings. ^_^

Re: your previous post - sorry, I don't mean to be pushy about organising things. I'm trying to learn to be a little more laid back about it but it's not easy to break the habit of a lifetime, so I will content myself with organising what I can (things like travel insurance) and be patient as you check things out. No pressure, I promise. *hugs*

Noooooo I feel bad! I will figure it out soon, I promise!

And I've now added new seedling pictures. :D

I so love peas. I hope they continue to do well we just bought a different type of seed and I hope to plant some tomorrow.
