Beautiful Plants to Welcome Spring

This morning we went to the nearby gardening center to get a fluorescent light bulb, packets of seeds (sunflower, black-eyed susans, shasta daisy, pole and bush bean, jalapeno pepper, carrot) and peat pots.

We bought a pot of yellow flower plant that looks like sunflower. I don't know why but I am now crazy for this type of flowers. I have been thinking about yellow flowers for weeks and today my dream finally came true. When we got home I immediately transplanted it into the green pot so that it has room to grow.

Since I still have some energy left, I spent about 2 hours in the afternoon to transplant Roma Tomato seedlings into bigger pots. It makes me feel so happy to see them growing so well under the fluorescent light. I can visualize myself eating juicy yummy tomatoes from the vine in just a few months' time, Allah SWT willing. Maybe next week I will transplant the cherry tomato seedlings into bigger peat pots.

Gardening has been a rewarding and fulfilling experience for me. All praise be to Allah SWT for making this life saving skill so easy to learn.
