It's hard to believe these guys started from little tiny seeds! It's taken a few months, but it's well worth it to see their natural progression! Yes, we have fought a few battles along the way (a fungus gnat infestation -- yuck!) but nothing a little organic pesticide couldn't cure (per the local garden center advice person). I got out there with my spray bottle and $20 Neem Oil (this garden has cost me way more that it would to buy this stuff in the store) and declared war on these tiny bugs that were killing my plants! So far the gnats have retreated, and I'm hoping they'll stay that way.
I really like to take care of these plants. I talk about them a lot too. Go figure. Maybe I'm just proud that I actually did something that I didn't think I'd be good at!
Heck I even planted sunflower seeds (they are easy, though!) and they are even sprouting!
