Nearly two weeks have passed since my last post: the combined result of computer issues and staying busy with transplanting seedlings.

All of my Sunflower Seedlings have been successfully relocated into the front yard.  About 3/4 of them appear as though they will make it through the shock of transplanting, which is encouraging.

I have worked through transplanting all of my Bell Pepper Seedlings and about half of the Tomato Sprouts.  I am less optimistic about these little ones.  Unfortunately, the weather has been so hot and dry that they seem to have withered almost as soon as I got them into the ground.

In the last week, I sprouted Yellow Squash and Broccoli Sprouts indoors, which are ready to go outside:

Growing towards the sunlight:

These sprouts look very similar to the Sunflower Seedlings:

The Romaine seeds which I sowed directly into outside rows are not doing well.  The majority appear to have washed away, so I may sprout the remaining seeds indoors and see if I have better luck via the transplant method.

Attainable Sustainable recently posted a fantastic article on gardening in small spaces.  The author discussed using space as efficiently as possible and prioritizing specific crops based on expected yield, preference/consumption and past performance when utilizing garden real estate.

The author mentioned bag gardening, which I have as yet experimented with.

Their driveway happens to be the sunniest spot in their front yard.  I haven’t driven in over a year (and the vehicle in my driveway is going to the scrapyard in a matter of days), so I am really excited about getting to use my drive way as an extension of My Garden.

I am excited to replicate this image here:
