| My stacking compost system |

| I started my seedlings indoor in November |
Last year I started composting, which makes me feel like a responsible citizen of our earth, and, honestly, it’s kinda fun! Like a science project!
My grandson got me interested in growing veggies and herbs on my little patio soon after, so I started late fall 2022 with some seeds he gave me and then the grow bags he gifted me for Christmas.
I bought some seed starter containers, a grow light, pots, fertilizer, a greenhouse, etc etc. Once you get started it’s hard to stop finding things to buy! I’ve been watching YouTube videos and reading books and I’ve learned a lot! Not everything is working out, but some things are taking off.

I am having success with a cherry tomato plant (my first two tiny tomatoes are almost red!), romaine lettuce sweet snap peas, parsley, sweet mint, basil and rosemary.

My radishes came up as skinny red strings, 😿 so I’m trying again now that the weather has warmed up a bit (I’m in Phoenix).

| My radishes were a fail! |
I don’t get as much full Sun as I need to grow many things, so I figure this season will teach me what I should spend my time on. And whatever I have success with, I’ll keep growing! I’m really enjoying it, and it keeps me busy…..and when I’m busy, I’m burning calories and not eating!
