Today I started another phase of vegetable planting that was needed due to some seeds not sprouting at all.\u00a0 One thing that I would like to point out when growing plants inside is that you need to have patience.\u00a0 This is something that I lack when it comes to growing any type of plant and it is one element that can help you in your own gardening.<\/p>\n

Everything that I place under the lights usually takes about half the time that it would usually take if I had placed them in a windowsill.\u00a0 Some plants I start with the lights some I don’t.\u00a0 For instance the flowers I planted earlier<\/a> in the season were started right in the windowsill.\u00a0 Along with them were the sunflowers, watermelon, and tomatoes.\u00a0 Everything else used the fluorescent lights which are a great help.<\/p>\n

Since it is the beginning of the season the windowsill is only getting a limited amount of sunlight.\u00a0 While the days are getting longer your plants will take a little bit longer than if you were to plant them outside in the longest day of the year.\u00a0 This is something to keep in mind when growing plants indoors.<\/p>\n

I just completed some more planting recently and I want to share with you some vegetables and flowers that I decided to grow.\u00a0 As I mentioned before the pepper and cucumber seeds were a couple of the older ones which I decided to see if they would grow.\u00a0 I purchased more seeds<\/a> which included cucumber and peppers.\u00a0 I used peat pots for all the vegetables during this phase and small black plastic pots for the flower portion.<\/p>\n

I also decided on using watermelon seeds that I had collected last year from my own watermelon.\u00a0 Since they are heirlooms I can use them for this garden season.<\/p>\n

\"Georgia<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is a picture of my Georgia Rattlesnake Watermelon that I grew last year.\u00a0 I took the seeds from this melon and saved as many as I could.\u00a0 Granted I saved about a few hundred when I only needed a couple for this new season.\u00a0 I placed them in the same three inch peat pots which you can purchase in any store.\u00a0 I planted six watermelon, seven straight eight cucumbers, and eleven sweet California wonder peppers.<\/p>\n

I also had purchased a couple of different flowers that I thought might be good for attracting those beneficial insects.\u00a0 Some statice and calendula were placed in small black plastic pots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
