Garden is Planted

This weekend in the {sweltering} heat I sat outside on my deck and happily planted my seeds for my vegetable garden. With the seat pouring off me, yes it was that hot, especially for New Jersey in mid-May, its not like our pool is even open yet, I set up about 75% of my garden. I parsed out my soil into my new containers from Home Depot. They're nothing fancy and certainly not the best looking containers, they were however the most affordable and best size for the small space I have to work with on our deck.

I was in my own little zone out there, raking the soil, digging little holes to put the seeds in. Unfortunately Mike snuck up behind me and scared me and my cucumber seeds went right through the deck planks!!! He was nice enough to get me more cucumber seeds when he went to home depot later that day. I still have to plant those seeds and I have two more containers I need to plant before everything is all set up. I had run out of soil so Mike got me more soil too for my last two containers. Hopefully I can get those set up before this weekend.

I'm not going to lie, I'm a little worried about if I planted the right number of seeds in the containers and how far apart they need to be. I'm wondering if I planted too many seeds in each pot. I was figuring better to plant more than less to start in case they all don't grow. I guess it'll be a couple of weeks before I see anything other than a pot of dirt sitting outside. Plus they are getting plenty of water today since it's been raining pretty good all day. I hoping it is not too much water for them, it has been pouring here all day.

This will be another one of my great projects to see how it turns out. My last project, of the cake decorating class didn't come to much, especially since it was so expensive to buy and make all the supplies and I had to miss the last class. It was still fun, I just wish all my little hobbies/projects didn't cost so much money! At least if this works out there will be a small reward, my very own vegetables to eat.
