As you may have guessed based on which community I'm posting into today, it's gardening. xD
We figured it'd be fun to plant some seeds and see them grow with @hiddenblade so we went out and got ourselves the necessary equipment, soil, seeds, and some pots and containers. Hidden did most of the research, I was just hanging out there looking dumb most of the time and helped out a little.
The seeds
They didn't have that much of a selection but we took a little bit of everything since we're mostly just doing this for fun. One thing I am interested in eating if things go well, though, are bell peppers. From @dcrops to real life bell pepper farmer, here we go!
Also some Sweet Pepper!
@hiddenblade insisted on also getting some tomatoes, the grossest thing known to mankind. I was reluctant at first but I was plotting on turning it into sauce or ketchup or something so I went along with it. Look at those seeds, no wonder they look blue and weird.
Not all seeds were edibles, we also got some flower seeds.
The last 3 pics are taken by @hiddenblade, my fingers aren't that girly.
Here's all the stuff in one place.
Now it was time to fill the pots and containers with soil!
We started with the Sweet and Bell Pepper, 2 seeds per.
Then we filled it up

Then we dug them under the soil a bit and hid it away from birds so they wouldn't come and just dig for the seeds to eat. :p
Lastly, the sunflower seeds in their pots.
Now let's see what happens. :D
We're quite new to this so I'm sure we may have made some mistakes but then again how hard can this be even if you do it wrong, I'm sure there'll be some sprouting. @hiddenblade is waiting for that as well to take some macro photography so make sure to follow her if you haven't yet and want to follow along on this.
Thanks for reading!
(sending her some beneficiaries for some of the pics she provided :p)
