animals, pets, nature, environments, and general life.
i started the majority of my plants from seeds, but i also have 2 tomato plants (1 sweet 100 and 1 celebrity) and 2 jalapeño plants to keep me entertained while they are sprouting. i've planted ghost peppers, habañero peppers, thai peppers, spaghetti squash, gardener's delight tomatoes, and cucumbers. i planted ~15-25 each, but i won't keep all of them (maybe 5-8 at most of each). i also have two herbs in pots (italian parsley and some oregano), and two strawberry plants in the front in a hanging basket.
i've set up 2 garden beds from stuff in my backyard (one won't be partial shade until closer to summer, and i'm not sure if it'll ever be full sun, but the other is obviously "mobile". the rest of the plants are currently in pots. once the seedlings begin to sprout and mature more, i'll plan out what kind of raised garden beds/pots/trellises i'll need for the plants, and then give away the rest of the seedlings.
the extra space in the pots where the current plants are in is to give a layer of mulch, preventing weeds from taking root in the soil (not pictured in the image, however). i will water them with a liquidized (diluted), organic fertilizer in a couple of weeks, and will do the same with the seedlings once they become more mature.
the strawberries were moved to the front porch in order for them to gain maximum sunlight exposure, as they are much more demanding than the other plants.
the soil that i used was a mixture of organic potting soil i bought from the local nursery near me (as well as where i bought all my seeds, fertilizer, and plants - i've had great past experiences with them!), black soil that was used years ago from my old garden (still in all the pots, there was a LOT of it, and there's still a little less than half being used that i can put in the garden beds i plan to get), and some of the composting material from the dead pecan tree we had to cut down in our backyard after hurricane beryl (the core was dying and would've toppled on the house and kill us or the neighbors in the next hurricane). it was mixed in layers and de-weeded. there are probably still chances weeds will grow in the pots/garden beds i've already constructed and i already have a methodology to deal with it.
pictures below! these pictures are terrible. new (better) pictures coming very soon. a lot of the unused beds/pots were filled with more soil recently.
