Well, the season is over. Since I can't really plant anything outside, I've decided to try planting in vases and take them inside when the weather gets chilly. Unfortunately, this is the darkest house you can imagine. My only indoor spot for most of these will be the front bay window with the tiny ledge. It's already crowded with a big potted plant and several cacti. We'll see what happens.

Peas. Started well. I have yet to be successful with peas in the yard. But, honestly, I didn't give them much of a chance. Hopefully, they'll do better in the window.

 Beans. Same story as the peas.

 Peppers. 

Carrots. Th

 Broccoli and kale.

The carrots and broccoli/kale combo will remain outside. They are cold-weather plants. It'll be a good experiment. If you noticed the domed lids on the plastic cup in the background, and in the next picture, those are milkshake cups from a popular fast-food chain. My grandfather loves them, so I have a nice stock to use. I'm wondering if the dome will work as a mini-greenhouse. Already, it's obvious that it holds in a nice amount of humidity. But it's way too early to tell.

I've saved my carrot tops and celery butts just for growing fun. I've learned that regrowing the carrot tops is how one collects seeds for premium specimens. 

Some of the carrot tops that I've already started. Honestly, I just like growing things.
