I may have gotten carried away

I grow many of my own plants; its fun to purchase seeds for plants that are not readily available in the commercial nurseries.  I also save and plant seeds from my own garden.  I start them in repurposed containers--we save food containers all year long--and use fine compost from my own compost heap for the starter soil.   Growing my own garden annuals is not only fun, but frugal too.

When I planted three germination trays with assorted veggies and flowers, it didn't seem that I had planted all that many seeds.  I was certainly wrong! 

The only window in my house suitable for seedlings is in my kitchen.  While the plant nursery is open, we give up our kitchen table to the baby seedlings.  This year, the plant nursery has gotten totally out of hand. 

I'm not finished moving the seedlings to individual pots but we have already outgrown the kitchen table.  I've moved the bigger plants out on the deck.  They are under the bench where they have some protection from sun, wind, and hard rain. So far, they seem happy to be there.  Of course, when (not if) we get more extremely chilly nights, they will have to come back inside.  I have no idea where I will put them.
