Seedlings

My seedlings are popping up! Its so fun everyday to see who decided to come up above the soil. Each day there is a new variety that decided to stretch out towards the sun in my patio door. The last one to pop up is my parsley, I am thinking that I got a bad batch of seeds. I bought the parsley seeds at Wal Mart, I should have ordered them from Territorial.

I decided it would be a good idea to buy a shelf to put in the patio door when my puppy gladly tasted the first batch of basil that I grew. I made the mistake of putting them on the floor in the sun and 20 minutes later they were gone! But the shelf works well. I normally have flats of seedlings spread all out on the floor in front of the window and worry someone will step on them. Now they are all up against the glass and it looks nice too.

I planted my herbs, 4 varieties of tomatoes and 3 kinds of peppers. I like to put the herbs in cans. Its a free pot and it looks cool to sell them at market. I planted the tomatoes and peppers in peat pots for easier transplanting. My tomatoes and peppers will go in the garden.

In two more weeks I need to start my pumpkins, zucchini, summer squash, cukes and eggplant. They get so big so fast that you don't want them in the house too long. Its so fun to watch all of this growing! And before you know it they will all need to go into the garden. Then the real work begins!
