Here too progress...
my zucchini are too high...should of kept them more in the dark not to grow too fast..
I cut the bottom of my little coconut hair pot into the bigger green pot. Like that the roots can keep growing while the stem thickens in its little pot inside the bigger one.

@sisters3
Quick progress here - the old tomato seeds came up after just a few days and most flower seeds have been pretty quick too.

WOW quite the setup Helene! Does everything goes into the garden?

Yes all of them will go. But I do a lot of “straight seeds” into the garden. Like my carrots, zucchini which I tried inside as you see grows too fast, leeks, beets, chard, fave beans... I also do plant shallots. Love them more than onions. This year I’ll only plant just a couple of potatoes in them green bags.

Can’t wait to move in a few years. I’m looking for my cottage along a lake but I want minimum one (and more) acreage so I can plant all my veggies for my winter months, need a good size greenhouse and a few chickens for my eggs..I’m a “city girl” but like my tranquility.

@helsonwheels here’s a gardening question for you. I moved into my house end of September 2017 and the previous owner was a huge gardener. I pulled a bunch of stuff up so I can start my own gardening/plants but her stuff just keeps popping up (strawberries, garlic, lilies for example). Is there any way to actually stop them from coming back year after year?

I would guess you need to dig up all roots to get rid of the previous plants - pulling them up might not be enough. You might need to change soil too.

I should clarify...I didn’t just pull them up, I used a shovel to dig them up by the roots. Maybe it’s just a process and something I have to do more than once.

You’re not digging deep enough but what’s odd is garlic usually never regrows unless you plant the bulb end of the fall season. Like @cefe13 mentioned strawberries don’t have a long root n lilies. When you say you dug with a shovel, how deep did you go? You need to go a good 2’.

I did not go 2 feet. I dug and just pulled the plant up with the roots. I know strawberries spread very easily. I’m assuming it’s garlic that’s coming up cause that’s what it was last year. And I’m not exactly sure the kind of lily but they’re super tall. The other day is when I noticed them coming up again. Once it stops raining I’ll get out there and dig them all up again and go deeper.

Sadly Citty you need to dig deep without breaking the roots or they will come back. Your lilies, what like of flower was it? You have a pic? I have a funny feeling it’s day lilies.

Not the first picture, something closer to the second pic. They’re just now sprouting through the ground but last year they got fairly tall.
