My wife and I are starting a garden for the first time this year. We originally were just planning to do transplants for everything, but a family member gifted us some of her favorite seeds and we’ve had some luck germinating them! Work is busy so we are not babysitting them as much as we should, but excited to see what makes it.

    What are you growing. Depending on what they are, spacing (cucumbers, squash) and possibly support (tomatoes, some peppers) may be helpful. It’s always fun, and even when it goes badly… I still enjoy it.

      In the pic we’ve got 2 types of indeterminate tomatoes, eggplant, and a couple flowers. The tomatoes and eggplant will go in a raised bed along with some transplants, and I’m thinking I’ll try the florida weave to trellis the tomatoes. But we’re just so happy to have anything germinate that I’d already consider this a smashing success lol.

        Awesome, it’s always exciting. I did some honey but squash 1 year and wish I had grown so many more. Just kept making different things out of them. The laziest was just slicing them like fries and salting/oil and they would bake coming out sort of like sweet potatoes fries
