Getting a garden ready

I am so excited to be growing a garden this year and having my own fresh veggies! The soil I'm using is organic mushroom compost.
In the years past I have grown tomatoes and cucumbers.  I have tried others but they just didn't grow.  My husband dug out a big space in our backyard for our garden.  I am going to try to grow the following (and take note I said TRY) Tomatoes (big boy and roma), cucumbers, zucchini, squash, asparagus, garlic, green peppers, sweet peppers,lettuce, spinach, strawberries and blueberries.
There is this really cool/easy way to start your seeds.  We found this at Lowes:

Jiffy Greenhouse

All you do is water the soil and let it sit until the soil grows. Fluff up the soil and add your seeds.  Cover and wait for your plants to grow.  The instructions were so easy!

Just after 3 days you can see some of them growing!!

Everything is nice and labeled : )

You can see how some didn't even sprout : (

Before I started this, I used an egg carton and some plastic shot cups and tried to start my plants from them.......only a couple grew and none of the seeds in the egg carton grew.  See why I say I will TRY and grow this garden : )

I'm also "trying" to grow herbs. 

 Growing carrots in a large bin.  I saw this on pinterest.com and decided to give it a try.

Growing carrots in a large tub!

Now all I have to do is wait and see how they all do.  Wish me luck, Trust me I need lots of it.  I do not have a green thumb!!

Salute to living healthier!!!!
