Seedlings!!

I have my first seedling!! I am pumped! The brussel sprouts popped up first, followed closely by the artichokes.  I had planted two seeds per pod, so when both sprouted I picked which one was my favorite and plucked the other. While I was away this weekend, they grew like weeds. I propped up the brussels with some skewers because they had all flopped over. Not sure if this is what was supposed to happen, but they look healthy!


The peppers are taking their sweet time, but that's okay.  I can see a little bit of growth, but I am going to leave them in the greenhouse a bit longer to give them time to mature.


Since the brussels and 'chokes had pretty much outgrown the greenhouse while I was gone, I decided to transfer them to peet pots.  I put down some dirt and a little bit of organic fertilizer (which smells like you think it does) and dropped them in.  I also watered them pretty heavily.


Since there was now more room in the greenhouse, I decided to start some more seeds.  As luck would have it, my mom gave me some new fun seeds this weekend.  Currant tomatoes, Brown crowder peas, and Perkins long green okra! The okra suggested I soak the seeds over night and plant them in the ground, but I just dropped them into the seed starter pods.   The tomato seeds look fuzzy, which was fun. The pea seeds look like dried peas. 



More seeds should be arriving tomorrow! Wahoo!
