Day 5

The (what I assume to be) broccoli plants are pretty tall for seedlings, so I've moved them into the light. The sweet basil sprouts are just about forming their first leaves and their stalks are bending towards the light, which to me says "Please! Move us! We're ready!" I must remember to move them away from the window before it gets too cold this evening. The beans still have yet to sprout.

Yesterday I picked up some more essentials and some more seed. I now have some cilantro, green onion, and pea. I also picked up some pots and more soil, and a few more germination kits. The cilantro will be started right away, but the green onion should probably wait until end of May/June. Not sure about the pea. Time to read up!

Here's a pic of the basil, growin strong:

Day 4

Germination is going strong, the sweet basil sprouts are so cute and tiny, some of the sprouts in the other starter kit don't look so hot, but I'll give them another couple days before I make any moves. The bean plants still haven't sprouted. Another couple days and they'll be pic worthy!

Today I should be able to pick up the rest of the seeds/supplies I'll need to get the garden started outside. In addition to what I have started, I'm gonna be on the lookout for:

Cherry Tomatoes
Green Onion
Peas
Cilantro
and maybe, just maybe, some carrots.

From what I've read, carrots take a lot of room to grow, so hopefully I will be able find a baby or dwarf variety.

I'm getting more and more excited as each day passes.
