Sowing seeds

Today I started the first seeds for this season. Yesterday I dug out some of the empty flower pots from the garage and found some potting soil. Today I bought some herb seeds and planted them along with some seeds we still had left over from last year. I planted parsley, thyme, basil and two types of beans, the kentucky wonder , better known as Poppa's beans, scarlet runner and peas and a whole pile of green onions. I bought cinnamon basil by accident. It looks exactly like the basil we bought potted last year but I am not sure if it is the same kind. Lets hope so. Other wise we will have a whole new culinary experience when time comes to eat it.
This year we are planning to stagger our vegetables so they arent all ready at the same time. The next sowing date will be in approximately 3 weeks.
I put the planted seeds up in the guest bedroom in front of the window to make sure that our dearest kitty Isabelle wouldnt start digging up what I just tucked away. I took a picture of the nursery and will keep you updated on the progress of the little guys.
