Tiny seeds!!

Hey reader! We bought -and lost- some seeds a few weeks ago. They were found yesterday morning so of course I put them in the ground.

 First are the big Nasturtium seeds
 They look like mini walnuts! I cant wait to see them grow into colorful flowers.

Chamomile seeds
They look like tiny flecks of grass. I was so worried they would blow away as I was planting them.

This little man enjoyed himself playing in the dirt and whatnot. 

And that's all. No sprouts yet but we are expecting rain these next couple days so hopefully something exciting will happen soon!

Welcome to my gardening blog! I'm Nadirah and I've dabbled in gardening all my life, however this is my first official garden.You can read my story in the bio, if you're interested.

Let's get down to it. This year I am growing:
 Peppermint
About the mints, I bought a regular mint plant from Walmart, but the rest of them were just re-planted from some that were previously planted on the property.Check my bio for more info on that.

 Basil*, Rosemary, Parsley and Cherry Tomatoes
*The green plant in the corner is the basil plant. I bought one from Walmart and re-planted it. The rest are underground seeds so not much to see.Yet.

. My dad has also planted some Yellow Squash and Honeydew Melons.

The soil looks rough, I know.But it already pushed out so the hard part is over.
