I wanted to share the progress on our organic garden! Did you read my first post about it?
After receiving Organic Choice Potting Mix and Organic Plant Food, L and I planted seeds in a starter kit to grow carrots, broccoli, and kale indoors.
We had picked up the heirloom seeds at our library’s seed library, and it wasn’t warm enough yet to start growing anything outside.
Remember my post about Sauder furniture? One of Sauder’s mottos is “When you thrive on thrifting — but don’t want to skimp on style.”
