Seed GROW Project: In the ground and growin'

My Seed GROW Project nasturtiums are planted and doing great! There are a few on each end of my homemade trellis in the front yard garden. They'll climb up along with the snow peas and mini-cukes that are growing in the background, inside their TP tube forts.

I also planted a couple seedlings in Aarini's enclosure, but didn't get a picture of them. I only plant edibles in her house because you never know what she'll munch on! More on those next month (if she doesn't eat them first).



Tune in every first Sunday for updates on my seeds and visit GROW to see reports from across the US and Canada.

I'm growing Nasturtium "Spitfire" for the GROW project. Thanks to Renee's Garden for the seeds.

  1. Your nasturtiums are looking great! I love the idea of growing them up a trellis with snow peas and cukes -- can't wait to see how it all looks as everything starts covering the trellis.

  2. Love the TP enclosures. I'm all about thrifty. What kind of a turtle (tortoise?) is Aarini? I had a snapper try to lay eggs in my garden last year; that was amazing! They look so prehistoric.

  3. Thanks, Colleen! The peas and cukes are also from Renee's Seeds, so they should be very happy together.

    Hi Monica, I think Aarini is a three-toed box turtle. She loves to eat goodies from the garden (whatever the bugs munch, she gets to finish off).

    Thanks, garden girl! You still have time to plant nasties, right? There's still plenty of growing time out there in IL I'd think. Go for it!

  4. Thanks for updating us and that turtle is really cool. I wish I had space for one, well a small one not a big ugly one like the kind that was in Monica's yard last year.

  5. That should look really cool all growing up the trellis .. can't wait to see the pictures in a few months. Pea season here is about over - the heat is on!

  6. I'm guessing your "nasties" are doin better, I'm behind with my report and just now catching up to see everyone's blog post. I'm not very impressed with 'Spitfire' so far. But we'll see what happens.
