A Sea of Seedlings

The greenhouse is bursting at the seams right now.  It's so full of pots that all I see is a sea of seedlings when I step through the door. 

I guess I went a little crazy sowing seeds several weeks ago.  Long winters do that to me.

But thankfully now that spring is here, the greenhouse is so stuffed with plants that I can't even walk through it without knocking over a pot or snagging my sleeve on a sticky leaf or stem.​​

I think that's a​ nice problem to have, and since the scene seems to change daily, I don't mind at all.

​I do love my plants.  The more, the merrier I say! 

And also, the more of us who are merrier, the better life is, so take a gander at my stuffed-to-the-gills greenhouse and just try to resist all the merriment that comes at you...

​

Here's a closer look--cilantro, tomatoes, chamomile, basil, mint, tomatoes, tomatoes, calendula, and tomatoes.

Wish I'd thought to sow some tomatoes.  Oh wait...

​​

I did sow tomatoes...

​

And for a change of pace, I also sowed a tomato.

​

In addition, I sowed a tubful of scarlet carrots.

​

Here's the mint again, French lavender, and the basil and chamomile.  Plus tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes, and Spanish lavender.

​

And finally, we have marigolds, kale, basil, lavender, sweet peas, tomatoes, tomatoes, lavender, and oh brother, I've lost track...

I've also lost control it seems, especially when it comes to tomatoes.  And also when it comes to keeping order.

So, let's recap:  It's springtime, the greenhouse is packed (mainly with tomatoes), and I've lost track, control, and any sense of order I may have once had. 

Hmm, it looks like it's shaping up to be a good year!

​​​​

P.S.  Here's a sneak peek at what's on the other side of the greenhouse...yep, that's some nice healthy green tomatoes ripening on the vine! 

I thought I'd save the best for last...although honestly I can't guarantee that I'll be saving any of these for anybody but myself once they ripen...  

Clearly, I have issues with sharing--life is such a struggle!​
