Sprouts

I planted cucumbers and eggplants on Sunday and yesterday I had one of each germinated! Wow!

Also after several weeks, one of the habanero seeds has germinated.

Finally, some of my tomato seedlings are on their third sets of leaves.

What good news. Can't wait to plant them outside,

Garden Update


The view of my garden from my study window.

Saturday I planted Brussels sprouts for the very first time. I also planted onion sets and plants.


Today I transplanted the tomato seedlings to their own pots and seeded eggplant, cucumbers and basil.

Under the lights!

Seedlings and other plantings


Here are my tomato seedlings. The peppers haven't shown yet.

Today I planted buttercrunch lettuce, beets, and spinach. I am surprised that the peas are not up yet with our warm temps.

Morning Surprise

I have tomato seedlings! I checked them this morning to water and there were three sprouts coming out of three different cells. I moved the whole cell pak in the greenhouse to the lights. I'll post pictures another time.

It was very fast considering I seeded these on Monday afternoon.
