Extraordinary!!

Extraordinary really isn't the right word.  Probably the right word is ordinary.  I am sure that there are gardeners and farmers all over the world who find what is happening in my backyard very commonplace and unremarkable.  Nevertheless, I am thrilled to announce . . . wait for it . . . the seeds have sprouted!!  I guess what I find truly extraordinary is that the seeds have sprouted for me.  Look at the tomatoes!  (Yes, I know that I "hypocritically" planted them in a plastic tub and I have said that I hate plastic because I am concerned about toxins leaching into my plants/food.  However, the plastic tub is what I had and I have decided to just use what I have for the moment and work on eliminating all toxins as I go.  Otherwise, I would be waiting for perfection - which doesn't exist - and I would never get started.   Unfortunately, this is a common theme in my life, but that is an entirely different blog post.) 

I have tomatoes!

 

I have jalapeno peppers!

 



I even have several things growing in the little lady garden bed. 

Unfortunately, I didn't mark what I planted where and I have know idea which is what.  So, I have . . .

Mystery Plant #1.

Mystery Plant #2.

Mystery Plant #3.

I do know that I have carrots because this is the only thing that I planted in a row and these little sprouts (although they are barely visible) are definitely growing in a row. 

What is that feeling that I am experiencing?  Could it be joy?  Yep, I feel joyful!
