Starting my urban garden indoors

"Black Eyed Susan" is a perennial plant described on the packet as: rugged, easy to grow, providing masses of strong-stemmed flowers...

An area near my home will soon be ablaze with these lovely Rudbeckia flowers a.k.a. “Black Eyed Susan” – now that my indoor planting is done.

I planted 25 tiny Rudbeckia seeds in peat pellets I will transfer to the ground on the May long weekend, when I will scatter the dozens of seeds still in the packet, pictured here at the top of this post.

Below – in a somewhat funkily laid out way – is the other stuff I’ve planted.

Worth noting is that I planted some beans in eggs shells, based on advice from old new school by damsel in dis dress: Planting seeds in eggshells

Part of the instructions were to poke holes in the egg shells.

I poked at the outside with a pin – but it was impossible.

Then I tried from the inside out – and it worked right away – of course it can’t be too iron-clad or the chicks would never be able to get out. Made sense.

These wonder beans are planted in eggs shells with soil in them

Let me know if you would like a zucchini seedling in the Metro Vancouver area. I've started many more than I can use - and might guerilla plant them somewhere in my neighbourhood

Yellow ground cherry tomato plants "produce an abundance of fruit inside husks" says the package. We shall see.

Cats who nibble this get calcium, chlorophyll, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and other vitamins - oh my!

    I’m extremely impressed with your writing abilities as neatly as with the structure on your blog. Is this a paid subject or did you customize it yourself? Either way stay up the excellent quality writing, it is uncommon to look a great blog like this one these days..

    Liquid chlorophyll is miraculous. It has SO MANY health benefits it makes it a true wonder-food. However, the most marvellous and amazing benefit it gives comes from the fact that its molecular structure is absolutely identical to hemoglobin except for the center atom. In hemoglobin this is iron, whereas in chlorophyll it is magnesium. This means that when ingested, liquid chlorophyll actually helps to do the job of hemoglobin (hemoglobin is so vital to the health of our blood – in fact, blood is approx 75% hemoglobin). It helps to rebuild and replenish our red blood cells, boosting our energy and increasing our wellbeing almost instantly.;
