Gardening has begun!

I knew this year I wanted to try planting items that aren't usually for container gardens - like lettuce and peas.  Then I saw an awesome Facebook post showing how someone modified a bag of garden soil to be the "container" and grew lettuce out of that.  Perfect!

So, the bag on the left has lettuce and the bag on the right has snow peas.  According to the lettuce seed package, you should space out planting seeds 2 weeks apart to prolong the harvest, so I have planted only the left side of the bag right now.  We will see what sprouts!  This is exciting - I have never tried planting either of these vegetables before!

I have also planted tomato seeds and yellow bell pepper seeds in "seed pods" inside the house.  I can't wait for the first tomato of the summer!
