We have been sowing vegetables seeds in pots for the past weeks. So far, we stopped with about 200 recycled yogurt pots of various vegetables seeds.Still a lot more to do because other seeds need a higher temperature to germinate, so they will be sown a bit later.

Some seeds were directly sown into the ground...like radishes, spinach, peas, carrots and beetroots for example.

| These sweet peas self sowned in autumn, and survived winter too! |
As you can see, part of our vegetable garden is still loaded with Brussel sprouts, beetroot, turnips and carrots that had over-wintered...yes, they all got covered in snow for days...yet, once thawed...they all start lookin happy again. Great pleaser plants they are! We are harvesting them as much as we could eat and the chickens also get their fresh share out of it...

As soon as the seeds sown in pots are big enough, most of them will come into this same vegetable garden area. Well, that's the cycle of eating and growing....
Growing your own veggie is very rewarding...if you have not tried it...why not have a go too?

200 yogurt cups? That looks like hard work. We're going to have warm weather this weekend. I hope we have time to weeds...that is not fun as sowing of course.
