After a long hiatus during which I (finally) graduated with my master's, I'm back to normal and looking forward to our summer garden. I started our seeds this past weekend and was happy to come home to this little cabbage sprout this afternoon!
I started 255 seeds total: the Jersey Wakefield cabbage above, a kaleidoscope pepper mix from
Pinetree Garden Seeds, some saved jalapeno seeds, and several tomato varieties. I started our usual Mortgage Lifter as well as some that are new to our garden including Sungold, Cherokee Purple, and Black Krim. I also planted some saved seeds from one of my favorite varieties from last year, Paul Robeson.
All the little seeds are sitting, covered, on our kitchen windowsill to get sunlight and stay warm. Now I'll just be waiting, excitedly checking their progress each day until they can join the other thirteen packets of vegetable and herb seeds I ordered in the garden in a few weeks.
For tips on starting seeds, see my
post from last year.
