I am just so excited I had to post with someone who might share my excitement.

I have a frustrated Non HOA Rule breaking gardener for years, sticking to growing a few plants in cannisters. I found a few years ago we have a community garden where you can sign up for a 8 x 4 raised plot. I signed up two years and and finally after being on the waiting list this long I got a plot this spring.

This year I planted in the ground for the first time, tomatoes, peppers, beans, radishes, basil and a lavender. Guess what IT IS ALL GROWING!!! I am so excited, I go over there every day and water, and weed my little plot.

I think the thing I am most excited about is I planted everything but the lavender from seed, in a little seed starters I bought at Walmart. I thought I would be shunned for buying starter plants... heck no, they all use starter plants.

I kind of have my Farmville going.
