New growth

There is the basil, and a marigold plant which I purchased at Painters nursery.  I've added some seeds to the soil a week or so ago.

Zinnias are coming along.  I know I have to cut a few out, because they all sprouted in one place.  That's thanks to the guy who used a power blower on the porch after mowing the grass, and blew most of my seeds to the grass.  But some were under the dirt and have sprouted.

Being Green

Do you grow anything?  I sure hope so.
Most of my endeavors are in pots...but I tried a couple of special beds this spring.

Be sure to check for heritage plants and seeds, if you don't already, or maybe it's heirloom.  Ah, someone needs to educate me about the difference,

40 heirloom-seed-suppliers.

The message is
 these can't be altered by GMO's.
Most are organic, or maybe that's required.
Some include hybrids, but will have them marked.  If you raise a plant that's not hybrid, it should have seeds that will be viable to plant another spring and get the same thing.

I'm not a true gardener, and certainly don't know much about plants. But I love to read about other folk's blogs about gardening, farming, living sustainably.
