I also got my half a Jack Daniels Whiskey barrel for my potatoes! I got those planted too, waiting for them to grow. I also got a plastic container to grow my carrots in, Aislinn helped me plant some carrot seeds too. Those are both outside by the garden.
I did a bunch of research on square foot gardening, and then I sat down and planned out my garden using what I planned to plant, and I also looked up companion gardening to make up my list too. It took me a bit to figure out how I wanted to do it all, but I am pretty happy with what I came up with.
I bought some broccoli, cauliflower, romaine lettuce and red sail lettuce to put in the garden. I was able to plant the Cauliflower and Broccoli today, but didn't get any pictures because it started to rain. of course because it started to rain I was unable to plant the lettuce's or the onion bulbs that I also bought. Hopefully I will be able to get all those in tomorrow. Then in about a week I'll transplant my spinach and kale that I started as seeds a few weeks ago.

My garden plan!
I'm excited for the coming weeks. I have a list that tells me when to plant different things for my area. April is going to be a huge planting month for me! I can't wait! Anyone else starting a garden, or maybe trying out a container garden? Are you excited to get it all started?
