Seedlings Before (store bought Swiss Chard in the lower right)
Store bought starts
The after....It is a lot, but believe it or not, this year I am cutting back what is going into the garden (unless I come across something that I can't resist, WINK WINK).
Store bought plants
As of yesterday I transplated all the tomaot plants that were moved to the 9 oz cups to 16 oz cups. I hope to put everything in the ground next month when hope of all frost should be gone.

That little plant above was the only one that made it from about 10 seeds planted and now look her below. I still plan to do this again, so that eventually, I could have a row of Hibiscus along the side of my house.

My agave plants that reside on my front porch are doing great. I am not sure if the stalks that are coming out the center will be flowers or if it is making more spines. In researching them, I "THINK" mine are americana, I could be totally wrong.
I am going to try again growing blueberries and blackberries. Last time I tried, they only fruited a tiny bit, then ants invaded the container they were in, however in looking at them yesterday there are leaves forming, so after I kill off the ants, I will transplant them somewhere else. In the mean time I planted last month the plants below.
Happy Gardening...
