 Yay, we have lettuce. We have two rows of carrots We have random herbs that came out from last year and some teeny tiny little sprouting onions if you can see those little sprouts They're so cute and then today we planted parsley and basil And this is a jalapeno plant that has yet to do much, but we're hopeful Okay, so I finally figured out a time to plant everything. We started all of these from teeny little seeds And I found those biodegradable pots that you can just plant right into the ground and they completely disintegrate So it's been very helpful and getting seeds off and running Now in Colorado we have a very short growing season, so I had to start the season very late I mean it's today's what? It's the weekend of the 20th of June and normally we do like this a month ago So I'm just now planting part of it has been because of weather part of it has been kind of because of time So I'm like I'm so excited to get our garden up and running and I just wanted to like tell you that Seeds tend to be kind of scary for people But we started them in these little pots and I'll show you these are the pots that we started our seeds in They're doing great. We started them inside and like we have some cilantro. Say hi. Hi Hello And we have some tomatoes that I have cages waiting for these are tomatoes too They don't seem to be doing as well. I'm not sure why if it's just the seed type But a lot of these seeds honestly, I got a Walmart for like a buck I think it was like $1.34 a pack so doesn't have to be expensive to garden and we're learning as we go Just like you can do meanwhile. I'm trying to film a video and my family is doing this You have to get them toughened up to the idea of being outside So that means getting them outside for little periods throughout the day So I I actually realized I toughened them up on accident I didn't there were a few times I deliberately brought them outside Got them in the direct sunlight got them in the blowing wind and then I bring them in at night And that seemed to work fine. I only did that like twice what actually ended up working was putting them next to an open Window in direct sunlight and I think that did the trick because this jalapeno plant We have in the ground right now was completely toughened up And it hasn't died and we've gotten some pretty crazy rain since I put it in the ground. So I think that's the trick Worth a shot, right? I'm about to actually put the tomato plants in the ground with the tomato cages and Like like I said, I'm learning as I go. So if you see me like maybe not space them out the right way We'll figure it out for next time, but We're gonna put some tomatoes in the ground now Shades in the cage first They're too close together Are you excited to eat all these yummy things? Yeah, me too We should make a salad with all that lettuce. I am so excited to try it. We've never done lettuce before We've never done lettuce before because I was always scared that it was like Too fragile or I don't know bunnies would eat it But honestly, I got this little tiny little gate at Home Depot To just cover the area and it's done. It's work. So It's just awesome So fun to grow things from a seed and watch it turn into food And it's such a great lesson to share with our kids and our family. Okay, so we did all that work We were outside all afternoon. I'm exhausted But our garden is planted and I'm really excited to be a little sure that progress with you guys follow me on Instagram Lauren learns and Yeah, hope you have an awesome week. See you next time go get messy have fun and No
