Sprouts

My first time growing sprouts has been successful! Thanks to my friend Mandi , I purchased a sprout container and a huge bag of seeds.

I could eat sprouts all of the time... every day. Well, now I don't have to go to the grocery store to buy them. These guys have grown for only about 3 days.


I purchased mine through a local co-op, but this is the brand: Handy Pantry.

Veggies.






I love growing things in my back yard. I have a bunch of flowers, veggies and dandelions (I don't love those). But, my green peppers are doing so well.
They were doing amazing until a few days ago when it rained all day. Now the leaves are curling and some are turning yellow and falling off.
I hope they were just over watered and didn't get a virus.

:(

I will be so sad if half of my pepper plants die. I've been waiting all summer not to buy peppers are the grocery store.

I've posted a few of the large amount of new necklaces I have. All birds. I have tons of birds! I'm also working a a couple of custom (polymer clay) orders, so that is keeping me busy.

Besides the jewelry, I'm trying to keep my new basil plant alive. I must not be watering it enough. And... my green pepper plant's leaves are turning yellow!! Why!? Maybe too much water in their pots?

I have a billion tomatoes from when I accidentally bought way too many plants. They are getting huge, but still green. I can't wait to eat them!
