Hey All. I hope you are having a happy Monday. I just wanted to share with you a quick trellis project I undertook for our cucumbers. It started out with me tossing some cucumber seeds into our second self-watering planter. This one was unfinished, but I figured I had time to put the wooden cover on it later.

When you go to some stores, they have brand new plants out there ready for you to take home to toss into your garden. Yep, it’s that time of the year to start planting if you are starting from seed. For me, I felt like everything was passing me by as I had not started anything (even though you can start plants throughout the growing season). I had to do something and I needed to do something now! [Read more…] about Starting Seedlings Indoors And My Rookie Mistake
