Loooooong story short: We had a house fire a few winters ago and I wasn't able to garden the following summer, then not really interested for a while after. I'm getting back into it this year through, and will try to remember to blog my progress.
I started planting about a week and a half ago and started seeing sprouts in the last couple days. Cosmos, sunflowers, virginia stock, and some bachlor buttons so far. No tomatos or other veggies yet. I don't have any money to invest in seeds this year, so I'm using all my old stash. Whatever grows is what we get and it will just have to do.
Very tempted to grow a pumpkin in an "earthbox" or "earthtainer" type system on the upper deck. This would throughly annoy several family members, but I can't grow it by the back door this year as we now have irises there that once belonged to my grandmother.
