Something told me today to check the seeds in the zip lock baggies for roots...I am happy to report that the Blue Lake bean seeds have germinated very well in ONLY TWO DAYS!
I have added these to the mini garden and moved it to an East/ South East facing window. I hope to have more great news soon on the rest of the seeds.
Follow along with me as I create and maintain organic raised garden beds and landscape in the extreme and unforgiving Arizona desert! Learn, share and ask questions. Together this garden blog will provide valuable knowledge of working organic principals to create your own mini ecosystem. Let's make the garden the first place you want to go and the last place you want to leave!

Mini garden not a success
Sad to report that the outdoor mini garden is not a success. That one small sprout gave us hope, but it soon was clear that the heat was too much. It looks as if we will try once again indoors this time. We have tested another seed germinating process and are happy to state much success with that. Photos to follow :)

Mini garden just for fun
So here is our mini garden. We did this for a fun indoor experiment, but soon changed our minds and put it where the large garden is since it has no soil yet.
We have:
Row 1: Sweet Basil
Row 2: Cat Nip
Row 3: Sweet 'N Early Cantaloupe
Row 4: Garlic Chives
Row 5: Blue Lake Bush Snap Beans
Row 6: Zucchini
Row 7: Cucumber
Row 8: More Blue Lake / Crimson Sweet Water Melon
Our plan is to transplant these into our garden when they are big enough and when we get some soil. We just couldn't wait to start growing something!
It's been about a week since they were panted. I will post and update with pics when there is any growth.
