Momentary pause in Singapore posts.
Yesterday, I sat on the kitchen floor, surrounded by soil, seeds, and containers. A fantastic soundtrack was provided by Pandora, as I carefully read each seed packet, chose appropriate containers, wrote labels, and meticulously planted my seeds. I restrained my overwatering tendency, and gave each container a splash of water.
Sunshine, prayers, and luck are all that's left if these seeds are going to stand a chance.

| I read covering the containers helps create a "greenhouse" effect. I am not positive, but it's worth a try. |

Last year, I was successful with my hot pepper plant and oregano. My hot pepper plant even survived multiple assassination attempts by Ryan's frequent and lengthy business trips ( occurring while I was in the States in July & August). Who knew pepper plants could not last weeks in direct sunlight without any water? :) I decided my green thumb, and incredible doctoring skills excel with hot pepper plants (and my tummy greatly appreciates).
On the gardening ticket this year:
Asian hot peppers
Spanish hot peppers
Herbs:
Oregano
Sweet Basil
Lime Basil (sounded exciting)
Cilantro (really hope this grows...love cilantro, severely dislike Russia's cilantro availability)
New "challenge":
Green Beans...I did research, and found a variety that "supposedly" does well in container gardens.
Please remember, green thumb, we are on the same team. Fingers crossed for an abundant gardening season, and many yummy meals.
