I got my stuff in the mail the other day. It's still too early to do anything with them, but I figured I'd share. Keep in mind that my camera isn't the best, so the images will be blurry. Also, there seems to be a cat in most of them.
First off, the six packages of seeds. I mentioned already how I went about picking them. (Hint: I went with the EASIEST.)
Now, obviously I need containers in which to plant them. So I got some round, biodegradable planters that you can put right into the ground, plus a flat with smaller compartments (for the flowers, since they are smaller).
And finally, I'll also need SOIL.
One last thing is the lighting. I had a bit of a problem last year with the seedlings getting a little spindly. By that, I mean that they got unnaturally tall. I think this was due to two things: One, I may have had the light up too high, which caused the seedlings to stretch up to reach it. Second, I think perhaps I didn't have a very good schedule with when I had the light on. I can adjust the height of the lighting with no problem. In order to get a good schedule down, I purchased a cat...er...I mean I purchased a TIMER that will control when the light is on, which you can see below.
