No sprouts yet. :(

I probably started them way too late – I think if there are no signs of life by Memorial Day weekend, I’ll hit the local nursery and see what they have as far as seedlings go.

I usually have a black thumb when it comes to gardening, but these were in the $1 bin, so I figured I didn’t really have much to lose. Brought them home, got wrapped up in other things and promptly forgot about them. After the weekend at the Inn, I realized I HAD to try to grow tomatoes again – fresh is so much better.

The kits are put out by Buzzy Seeds, and have everything you need – container, soil pellet & seeds. I picked up kits for tomatoes, radishes, strawberries, oregano, basil, daisies & marigolds. Spent a few minutes this morning getting them put together – couldn’t be easier and great for lazy gardeners. There was more soil than needed, so I’ve got some pellets leftover, and each of the seed packets has enough for at least two containers. I’ll have to scrounge around for some more containers this afternoon to use up the rest of the seeds.

They may never even sprout, but it’s fun to think that just maybe I’ll have some fresh tomatoes & strawberries later this season!
