Planting seeds

Today I planted my first seeds!  The kit of seeds was delayed but the hot peppers and brussel sprouts and artichoke seeds all arrived.

I am using Jiffy seed starter pellets.  They are a little strange in that they expand like a puffer fish.  I've read good reviews for them, so hopefully this will work.  I planted 4 pellets with brussels, 4 with artichokes and 1 for each pepper, with 2 seeds per pellet.

I covered the pellets and will check in a week or so to see if I have any baby seedlings.  Hopefully by the time the rest of the seeds get here these little guys will be ready to be transferred to pots.

Also, today I decided to soak my mushroom log.  Not really "gardening", but it will be (hopefully) adding to my home grown food stuffs, so I decided to add it here.  After a full 24 hour soak, it supposedly will start producing Shiitake mushrooms within 2 weeks.

We will see...
