Seed Starting

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had received in the mail my seed starting supplies...including the all important seeds. Well, this my friends is my little piece of spring found where else, in the basement of course.


It's two stacks of milk cartons with a piece of wood re purposed as a table top. The fluorescent light is hung the proper 3-5 inches from the seed cell-packs which sit in aluminum trays.

Here are the little seeds before their trip to the basement.


I planted the seeds on March 12th and already I have 12 Kohlrabi seedlings; which popped through the dirt in 3 days, and a handful of various tomato seedlings just starting to appear now.
It's not rocket science; but certainly makes me smile knowing that I might be able to bring some of this food to the table in a few months.
